The ALSO Saskatoon group continued with day 2 of the CHALO program at the MCC Centre. The day started with another session with Dana Barrand. The first assignment was to describe what 'privileged' and 'under-privileged' looked liked. The stereotypes and single stories were explored and challenged. The students participated in a discussion and brain-stormed solutions for closing the distance between the two groups.

We then went out to volunteer for the rest of the day at two organizations. One group of students went to 'The Bridge', a drop in centre in the inner core of Saskatoon. The students help clean both outdoors and indoors. They also help serve the noon meal to the clients.
