We worked at the Ronald McDonald Foundation House one weekend. I may not be in support of McDonald's the restaurant, but seeing what they do for the parents of the kids at the hospital, I am so thankful for the help this foundation provides.
Little Rock's Central High School is one of the most famous high school in the country and certainly the most important when it comes to the civil rights movement. Across from the high school is a museum dedicated to the Little Rock Nine and their stories. It was wonderful to see and stand in a place with such a rich history concerning the development of our nation.
Every Sunday we work at a downtown Little Rock museum called The Museum of Discover. This hands-on science museum is packed full of all kinds of amazing things to do. Our job is to 'go have fun' because 'if your playing with the exhibit, others will want to too and then you can teach them about it!', Sweet job, huh.
Arkansas is home to Bill Clinton, the father of the AmeriCorps program so, naturally, we had to go see the museum and library dedicated to him! The museum was surprisingly intriguing containing a mock Oval Office, a Lego Display, the actual presidential limo that was driven during his era, and, of course, a whole section dedicated to AmeriCorps!
