The Homeless Voice - Day 2
>> Tuesday, April 7, 2009
(NOTE: This post is a continuation of yesterday's blog post)
On Saturday, I was invited back to the shelter for the “Making of the Homeless Voice” event. Everyone gets together for a spectacular meal (prepared by Billy) and the writers get in a room and piece the upcoming issue together. I was surprised to learn of the process and the staff’s dedication to put the issue together in less than 12 hours. It is a depiction of dedication and teamwork at most – revealing the team’s synergy and will to bounce ideas off one another to make the most entertaining piece of journalism possible. And they are very successful at that.
Unfortunately, I did not video Day 2. I decided to take everything in and concentrate on networking and learning more about the people. All in all, my trip to Ft. Lauderdale was extremely beneficial. There are so many things that I learned that I cannot reveal on this blog due to the secrecy of Talk 4 Hunger. We can’t reveal too much before our official street launch. What would be the fun in that?
As promised, the first part of my video tour of their facilities can be found below.
More footage to come tomorrow...
