            Last week our trip was to the Genesis Shelter. First we went to the GA Justice Project and we were taught how to trust people and how many people they see every day come in because of crime charges, fired from their job, or anything that effects their life and living. I found it interesting at how many homeless families come each year with new born babies. We were toured around and shown where they keep parents' babies. We saw different rooms for the actual parents and where they socialize and eat. I found the diaper room very interesting because there were over 6,000 in just one little utility closet!The shelter for babies had about four different sections for the maturity of each baby such as walking, speaking, or understanding instructions. Each room was much nicer than I expected and cleaner. It would seem a little more depressing because its a shelter for people in need, but it actually was joyful and nice, especially the newborns and babies. Every one seemed to enjoy the trip and become focused on the babies and the shelters for people.
