We settle into a routine

The Economics and English courses started this week, so our touring around as one big group is pretty much over. After three weeks, we have a good sense of using the Tube, as well as buses, and finding our way around the city.

Today we had our third art class at the Tate Modern, and in the afternoon we went to the Volunteer Centre (note the spelling) for Kensington and Chelsea. While there, we learned more about the importance of the volunteer sector in the UK. In addition, a number of students were able to get matched up with various organizations in London to fulfill their service learning commitments.

Thursday afternoon, we'll visit the shelter at Chelsea Methodist Church. I visited them a few weeks ago on my own, and it's a great organization that does wonderful work in the community.
