Everything went well. We had a safety awareness pre-briefing and volunteer sign in sheet. Youth Connect is coming up on Dec 4 and we don’t have clinic that day, so everyone should go to Youth connect from 1:00 0 5:00 PM at YEAH, on University at Grant. We got a bunch of supplied; mostly clothing and some blankets. It is great that Iris went to the Co-ops for us. At debriefing we brought up the issue of a strict versus flexible age cap. It will be brought up at PC to get the opinion of some of the older volunteers.

Share ThisOur participation in the Berkeley Project was a tremendous success. Kara, Karandeep, and the SPEAC/SHARE small group all deserve a big hand. Volunteers painted the bathrooms and showers at the Willard site, conducted needs assesments, and painted at the Berkeley Multi-Agency Service Center (MASC) site. Karandeep did a phenomenal job as Site Leader at the MASC site, and we were able to achieve a tremendous amount of work there as a result of his dedication. The teriffic success there and at the Willard Pool under Kara should serve as sufficient evidence to everyone that the SPEAC/SHARE small group is an incredibly productive and viable addition to the Thursday class, one that will certainly endure during subsequent semesters as a result of their achievement.
The amount of planning and preparation these that two UGSIs put into their group project was very inspiring, and will serve as a model for all future iterations of this small group. Congratulations to both of you, and to all of the HMS 98/198 students in your small group! Overall the event ran smoothly, and it was awesome to see the change accomplished by some very motivated volunteers. We also passed out educational information on some of the misconceptions of homelessness and provided the volunteers with links to websites where they could educate themselves. Thank you to everyone who came and helped out.

This week went well. There were few clients compared to the last while, and many left early. Many volunteers left early as well.
Please remember, class credit is not recieved if one does not stay for debriefing. And clean up is hard if you are understaffed.

Dr. Amin Azzam, resident psychiatrist at SF General Hospital and UCSF professor, will be coming to the Planning Committee on December 6th to lead a training on mental health. The topic on mental health referrals will be reserved for Dr. Gilbert Newman, director of the Wright Institute, for next semester, as he is much more familiar with the East Bay’s mental health services.
Share ThisChanges are on the horizon for People’s Park.
On Sunday the stage was repainted and a new free box was built. The police removed it before it was even used as a free box, while it was still being painted. On Wednesday, someone had painted over parts of the stage that said “Democratize the UC Regents”, “Free Box”, “Food not Bombs”. People’s Park is UC land and so if it was the University, they have the right to, but it goes against the spirit of the park and the freedom of speech.
