Good morning, Day 3 Points of Light #PointsofLight24! After a full day of sessions, we hung out yesterday with superheroes from Curiosity Cruiser, Harris County Public Library, and Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation, as well as friends from the Little Free Library and Volunteer Odyssey! We ate some delicious Persian food at Miri's Kitchen, followed by amazing fellowship and Day 2 reflections at Behind Closed Doors on the programming related to #NationalService, #YouthService, #Volunteerism, #VolunteerEngagement, #CivicEngagement, #CommunityEngagement, #Sustainability, and #SocialImpact in the City of Houston! We look forward to more connections, learning, and new friendships at this conference hosted by Volunteer Houston and Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston!
