New York Cares Day

Saturday was New York Cares Day, a day when thousands of people in the city give up their time to volunteer on a range of community projects. Our team, the Mountbatten Marvels, were assigned to a school in Brooklyn. To help revitalise the school we painted classrooms, cleaned fencing and some of the more artistic volunteers drew murals. It was a fun day and made even more worthwhile by the NY Cares after party! Free beers, free food and best of all a free T-Shirt. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to volunteer again before the end of my year in the city.
