Let's Try This Again!


Alright the first time, I tried blogging it didn't work out so well. So this time I'm going to try to blog at least once a week. Instead writing a lot, my post it be pictures I took throughout the week. I believe pictures will tell you guys more about my time in Atlanta than me writing about it. Plus, I like photography!

Here are some pictures of my adventures so far!
Home Sweet Home in Grant Park!!! Grant Park is a transitional/gentrified neighborhood.  Living at Grant Park makes  DOOR Atlanta unique compared to other DOOR sites because our positions are not connected to the local neighborhood. Most of us work  all over Atlanta take a look at me for example, my positions are in Northwest Atlanta. 



First grade took a field trip to the Open Door Community. The Open Door is comprised of devoted  and compassionate individuals who give up their regular jobs to serve the homeless in Atlanta. 

A first grade class conducting a science experiment outside. 

Another class watching a documentary about Arctic wildlife. 

This is Dean Leeper, the principle of Kindezi Charter School. 



We're about a block away from Grant Park. It is really nice to have a big park close by , but if I need get away I go Oakland Cementery. Despite being a big park you feel your out of the city. It's really hard to find peace like at my former residence  

This Oakland Cemetery. Even though some people my find Oakland creepy, it
 has been sorta of a sanctuary for me. When I like to get away I come here and reflect.

This is a picture was taken from Oakland Cemetery. In the distance you can see the tall skyscrapers that makeup Atlanta's midtown. One the things that shock me the most moving to Atlanta is how big it is. I never thought there were large cities in the South. 

This is our local Pizza Place.

This month I'm leading a nature club at Kindezi. Most of the stuff will be doing  will take place here in Anderson Park.




In my next post, I will try to give you guys more of a glimpse of the Furniture Bank and Kindezi.  So Stay Tuned!!!!
