Potbelly Manor & Fax House

Hello everyone. So I did my two weeks at two different places. I spent my first week at Smith & Abbys Potbelly manor in North Kingstown. It's basically a place that takes in abused animals of any kind, the kind of animals a shelter would not take in (for example: cows). It was really interesting to see how much work goes into taking care of a farm and how much money it takes. I spent a ton of time just playing and socialzing with the animals. It was not all fun though, I had to shovel poop from time to time too. All the animals have a "story." All the animals there are really sweet and loveable, but they've had really difficult lives.
My second week was done at the Fax house. The fax house is a state run place for aids, abused, and drug babies. They also had three toddlers staying with them while I was there and I spent most of my time playing with them. It's so much work taking care of 10 babies at a time! Most of these kids have had really tuff lives and they probably won't get any easier for a while. I really enjoyed my two weeks at both places!
