Rockford Peaches: Allee Vito, Sam Kramer, Kyle Nagle, Andrew Denton,
Kennedy McMillen, Larry and Rhonda Hoon
We’re having a peach here in Rockford. We are working in a century old
house owned by Larry and Michelle. In a bedroom, we took down the old plaster
from the walls and ceilings, and are replacing them with drywall. The house was
formerly heated by coal, which caused soot to form in the ceiling. As we hacked
and toiled at the ceiling, we became increasingly disgusting and covered in
filth. Sam, Allee, and Kennedy spent some time speaking to the seven children
in the household. Allee helped teach the boys how to play the piano, colored
pictures and talked about favorite foods. After work today, we spent time at
the free trade store; which is important because it helps provide living wages
to the artisans of foreign countries, oppressed women from the area and
supports families in difficult times. A local man explained how the local
church is working to eliminate indecency from the area during our tour of the
town. So far all is going well and we will continue to update you on the
actions of the Peaches.
