For this visit to Freedom House I did not tell Lydia what I wanted to work on, rather I thought she would let me do whatever they were most in need of at the time. There for I expected to be doing some housekeeping work throughout the building. I was hoping to see some of the residents since we didn’t get to see anyone who lived there the last time we visited.
Before this visit I picked a day during which I wouldn’t be in a rush to leave Freedom House for other commitments. I emailed Lydia asking if I could come help out during that time. It was less than ideal weather the day Brian and I were visiting Freedom House, so we left to volunteer bit early to leave time for the drive.
When we got to Freedom House we met one of the employees at the front desk. She let us know that Lydia wanted us to clean the dining room. Once Brian and I had finished cleaning the room we moved on to the living room and did some vacuuming. Overall our experience went pretty smoothly. We had enough supplies for properly cleaning and were given directions on what Freedom House needed done.
As of right now I am beginning to think about what my final project will be. Because I am a design student and I consider my design work to be strong I am thinking about doing a logo for the donation event they are having in a couple months. Also, I am thinking about making some screenprint posters to advertise the event around the area. I still need to talk to Lydia further to see if they even need advertising of if they just invite certain people and have acquired a list from previous years.
