Affordable Housing for Penguins

Today we had an interesting day visiting the Binghamton Zoo, shoveling penguin poop, and working in the name of Habitat for Humanity. Sometimes even the best laid plans . . .

Originally we were to build a community garden for an affordable housing community in Binghamton but severe weather predictions canceled the project. Amy (our Habitat liaison) called in a favor at the zoo and we were set loose. The zoo was a fun although a strange project that wasn't quite in line with out trip's focus. I was especially glad that my Aunt Maggie came to visit! She took pictures of us working in the penguin pen, playing with the penguins, riding the carousel, and getting wet working outside. She also stopped afterward to sit and have lunch. I really enjoyed sharing the day with her, even though a bit strange.

  1. Danny, somehow I will get the pictures to you. I think you work well as a group and I know the Ross Park Zoo was pleased with what you did in the penquin yard. Wishing all of you the best. Aunt Mag
