Second day at Phillis Wheatly


In our way to Phillis Wheatly we encountered different things we did not see the other day. It seems to me like not every neighborhood in this town is the same. Today we saw what this is really about, (at least a great part of it). There were homeless people sitting or sleeping on the streets in front of a grocery store. An old man with a grocery car full of junk and other things I did not recognize. The houses were dirty and with dark colors, like blue, green and orange, and it were coming off.What caught my attention most of all were their faces. Some looked sad, worried, but above all they looked used to the fact that their lives are ruined and they are not doing anything about it.
When we got to PW everything changed. Their little faces were bright and full of energy. Their smiles and happy spirits were contagious. I personally did not want to leave that wednesday.
