Welcome to our first episode!
Our first two guests are Anna Wingo and Liz Wright, both social workers working in the health care space. They started a Facebook group, the St. Louis COVID-19 Social Resource Group to help organize information in the St. Louis area. We talked about why they got involved in service and how other places can replicate the work they're doing to fit their regions.
I also took live questions, talked about the news, and rebooted "Mr. E's Mysteries," the first class I ever taught. This week's activity for kids is using washable paint to teach folks how to wash their hands! You'll definitely want to watch the video.
