I have already stated how challenging it has been to find opportunities where I am of need during this time. Everything is closed, or they have had to change how they do things in order to make events or daily duties happen. I am very thankful that this next opportunity fell into my lap.
I volunteered with an organization called Keep Knoxville Beautiful. It's help to clean and improve the great outdoors of our fair city. One of the the projects that needed help was painting a new mural on the basketball court at Cal Johnson Park. I did not stay terribly long, I had something unexpected come up that prevented me from stay, but it was a great experience.
The group of people in charge were very helpful and very kind. They had the design already sketched out and we basically did the court like a giant paint by numbers. I hope that it's finished soon and I can go back and see the design. I felt terrible that I had to leave early but they were very kind that I did and were very happy that I came for any amount of time. I think that if they have another need I will go back and do a full shift. it's was a very easy project to be apart of and one that many people got to do. There was lots of space to work and people talking or doing their own thing. I was very impressed with how organized everyone was and how well equipped.
