    Me sitting in the middle of nowhere writing a letter to my parents

    I attended this program from December 30th 2021 to February 3rd 2022. Throughout this "therapy" I got severely malnourished, isolated for being transgender, had my medication for birth control screwed up by one of the trail walkers who looked to be in her mid-late twenties. They gave depressed kids knives, rope, and plenty of instances where we could've easily jumped to our deaths. That was DEFINITELY a good idea. The staff kept informing my parents about how I was having full body tremors but wouldn't actually do anything to fix the issue, same with one of the girls who was constantly cutting herself with the multiple knives this program gave us, they sure as hell didn't help her. Also since I'm a transgender guy (ftm) I was forced to be in the girls group which made me and everyone else quite uncomfortable especially one of the other people who had dealt with rape from an uncle, she wasn't having a happy time with me there because of my mere presence, I felt really bad for her. I also remember crying and screaming on multiple occasions because I felt physically exhausted but noooo we had to keep walking even though I had joint problems that they already knew about. My "therapist" there kept questioning me on why I wanted to let the pedophiles who groomed me kill me, it was our 5th time meeting... she wouldn't even stop even though I was hyperventilating and crying. She definitely wasn't certified, I wasn't even sure if she'd gone to school for psychology. I hugged my mom when I first saw her after getting out of that place, I even hugged my dad! I hated that old man but it was better than staying at that program. Please don't send your children here it's not safe, even now after working through the trauma that place brought me I still have occasional flashbacks from being there. They wouldn't let us have any hygiene products not even toothpaste or hand sanitizer, I now have a pretty big fear of feeling dirty thanks to the Anasazi foundation. They weren't helpful to me, considering I relapsed in under a month after I got back.

    This was my first time volunteering at the new location. Great organization for a great cause…read more As always, I arrived 15 minutes early and followed all of the instructions. Appreciate the lockers for my personal belongings at the presentation area. The rest of the steps and assembly lines were just the way I remembered it. I volunteered at a new station this time, which I very much enjoyed. Totally got a bicep workout out of it. Thank you, FMSC, for a meaningful experience and wonderful memories all these years!

    First time to volunteer with this organization and it was an amazing experience! The ease of…read moresigning up for shifts was great, everything is done on-line. We arrived about 15 minutes prior to our 9am shift and there were several groups there as well. We were brought into the large room where the market is located (more in a moment on this) and found lockers to lock our things up (you can't wear hoop earrings, rings, necklaces, etc.). They give you small plastic baggies to put your stuff in; you are also required to wear a hair net and men with facial hair was also required to wear a beard net. We watched a couple of videos that explained what we would be packing and where it was shipped to as well as specifics for the actual packing station. It is so rewarding to know that these Mano Packs are shipped to countries where children suffer greatly from malnutrition. At the end they actually give you a sample of what we packed. It was like a savory oatmeal and included rice, protein, a mixture of dehydrated veggies and a scoop of powdered vitamins and nutrients. It was good actually. We were at a packing station with some others including children and once everyone decided on which job we wanted to do, after a few minutes and bags, we found our packing rhythm. They have a very precise method to the packing of these meal bags and with music, cheering, etc...the two hours flew by! If you are looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity, check them out. We are going back for a second time and I think we'll make this one of our regular volunteer opportunities. Staff working is great and helpful and so passionate about the work they are doing! The marketplace includes crafts made by the people of the different villages around the world. We learned that not only are the families given food packets but they are also signed up for resources and employment opportunities and everything else in an effort to make their lives better. The marketplace is amazing!

Also involved with Generation United, we spent time with underprivileged children during the free arts day at the museum. There were three highly organized activities with the groups split up into about 8-10 kids. The activities were kids yoga, and two where the children created their own art. The organizers did a great job explaining what the volunteer's boundaries should be and how we could maximize our time with the children. My group were 4-year olds and we were each assigned one child. Being that I have an almost 4 year old, it felt natural to play with my buddy but it was so difficult when we had to say good bye. These kids need so much and you just want to do more. Luckily, they have organizations like Free Arts to bring some fun and creativity into their lives.
