A bunch of pics from the first day of work at YNIA 2007 – St. Louis, MO:

Participants help with a relay race at the Griffen Center in East Saint Louis, Il.

Clearing out a jungle of a backyard in north-city St. Louis.

This group did a lot of tasks, including moving a refrigerator from the basement up, and the one from the kitchen down.

One of the participants poses at the Bell Garden, a public garden for neighborhood residents.

A couple groups help build wheelchair ramps at a couple sites with Home Services, Inc.



The participants at the evening session hold a rally based on the seven principles of Catholic Social Justice Teaching.

More of the rally.

At evening prayer, all reflect on Luke’s beatitudes.
