Comings and goings

August is a month of transitions. The volunteers moved out over the past week and three new ones will move in over the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, three asylum seekers moved in. For the first time we have someone from El Salvador. The other two are from Congo and Cameroon.

Earlier, Stephanie, a native of Baltimore, moved into the "loft room". Amy, who attends NBMC, will move into a room on the third floor later this month. When the dust settles, we will have fifteen residents in our house.

Our new resident from El Salvador happens to make a mean pupusa. She whipped up a batch for us last week. They were delicious and better than the ones from our favorite Salvadoran restaurant in Fells Point.
