Spring Football

Just like last fall, Eric and I volunteered this spring with flag football.  The spring league is with different kids, in a different part of Detroit, and with a different organization (Central Detroit Christian), but it is just as fun and rewarding.  The kids have a safe place to go for a few hours, one day a week, and people to provide words of support and encouragement.  They get a healthy snack, a free pair of used football cleats, and have a blast.  The season is much shorter (only 5 weeks), so, unfortunately, it's already over.  We had a great time once again and look forward to the fall league starting up.  To learn more about the organization, go to http://playbookfootball.org/.  Here are a few pictures of the kids.

Many of the homes in this area (and in Detroit overall) are abandoned.
