DREAM I Meals on Wheels I Social Practice with Robert Ransick

Bennington, VT 

2016

Sarah and I are both mentors for DREAM, a youth mentorship program. Many of the young children’s parents worked multiple jobs and were often lonely. We found that many of the older people at Meals on Wheels wanted to be able to share their stories. . We began a pen pal exchange. Both sides felt they were giving and receiving; a relationship was formed that continues on today.
