This past Wednesday February 26th it was community day back in Duluth at the College of St. Scholastica. Community day is a day where all the students get the day off and are strongly encouraged to go out and volunteer in the community that we live in. Over here in Ireland we unfortunately didn't get the day off of school but we still went out and gave back to the community that is letting us live in their lovely little town for 3 months.
We decided to clean up the road to a local beach near our cottages where we are staying. We threw on bright clothes so we didn't get hit by any cars and some gloves to pick up nasty garbage. I had the honor using the "claw" to pick up trash that was in hard to reach places.
We brought 3 trash bags and they were almost all full by the time we made it to the beach. We also found somethings that we kept, like a soccer ball and a volleyball. I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure.
We all had a great time giving back to the community and it didn't feel like work in the slightest.
