Day 1: First day at SEAMAAC

Today Justin and I visited the site in South Philly. The kids were very well-behaved and respectful. We played a name game with a ball and toured the site. The friendly staff at SEAMAAC invited us to a family barbecue and Justin shooted hoops with some of the boys as I sat and talked to the girls. The kids were very sweet and polite. They brought me over food and drinks so I didn't even have to wait in line!

The day before, I spoke to the director Lillian over the phone and she gave me some useful advice for working with this community and age group.

Justin and I toured the computer lab, which was typical for a Philadelphia school. Not the latest computers, but workable. Justin struggled a little installing the software, but after some time we got the software from ED Tech to work. The only problem now was that we had to get speakers and a projector.
