Hi Am Rachel one of the threesixtys from Waterloo am going to share with you two projects that I have found the most challenging so far.

Prayer walk has been my most eye opening experience so far. Last term we mainly walked around the local area talking to homeless people who were so grateful that we took the time to stop and talk to them and listen to their story. This term we have been doing home visits to some of the young people we work with. We went to one young person’s house to say how well he is doing at Table Tennis and how well behaved he is. The mother was shocked as apparently he always gets into trouble at school and she was very grateful that he had found something he liked (but still had to keep asking us “are you sure he is well behaved?”)


At Southside we run a radio station and have recording studios for young people to use. Last term was hard as I didn’t know how to approach the young people as they are so different to me, I was way out of my comfort zone, but as the term went on the young people began to say hi to me and slowly I managed to build a few relationships with some of the young people who come every week. I am looking forward to this term which should be easier now I have begun to get to know the young people.

Blogging out till next time……. xx
