Reflections from some of the youth who attended Hands Across Duluth:  

"This was my first time going to HAD and I had no idea what to expect at first, but on our first day helping build the playset I realized how well everyone worked together as a team and I felt like I was part of a family and I will for sure will come back next year.” Annie

I” think Hands Across Duluth impacted me this year because we helped with the playground at Loaves and Fishes for the homeless kids and families in the neighborhood, and that made me feel great knowing that I did something to make someone happy.   Even when they don’t have much, they can still go out and play.  I made some good friends along the way.  I will not just do stuff for ME; I will do more WE stuff by helping in the community.”  JR

“Me to WE is an idea that I’ve been introduced to even before HAD.  It’s main idea is to show kids the impact that we can have when we work as one unit to get a job done.  I realized that before you can become a WE you have to figure out who your “ME” is.  When building the play set each of us was chosen to do a particular job that plays to our strengths!  Everyone has their strengths and their weaknesses but eh great thing about being WE is that those around you help you in times where you may be struggling, because you’re never alone and there will always be more people that want to help. That’s what I learned from HAD this year.”  Luisa
 
"This year at hands across Duluth was pretty fun; helping build a playground for loaves and fishes, I also did a lot of digging to help level the back yard for the play ground..  Doing hands across Duluth was rewarding because I got to put myself in the shoes of someone with limited money. It felt really good watching a video of 2 little girls see the play ground and go right over to it and start playing."     Atle
