YPL service project
My group visited a school where recent Hogwarts graduate Shivani Johns teaches.
She took over fairly recently, I think, and her predecessor was old and had some difficulty keeping up with the work. The whole school needed to be painted and also we patched a hole in the roof. Also, some places where the furniture hadn't been moved in about a century that needed a good cleaning -- we noticed those when we moved the furniture to paint.
It was good to feel really useful. We certainly appreciated Miss Johns coming in on her day off to work with us, and we hope that she finds the fresh paint and no-longer-leaking roof make it worthwhile!
I wonder if anyone wound up at the school I used to attend? The teacher when I went there was Miss Dixton. (She might have retired, however. I'm not sure.)
What sorts of work did the other groups find was needed?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
I don't suppose it really matters, since we'd turn out hungry and worn to bits either way.
YPL wasn't like this before. I know I'm stating the obvious, but...
