The children had their first day of school today. Rita, Thierry, and Wendy saw them off. While it was sad seeing them walk into their school, it was a lot calmer in the Phoenix lol
Thierry and Rita then worked on sorting clothing and arranging the free store.

A massive thank you to Trostyants Community for providing our residents with warm clothing. When people are forced to leave their homes, they are very limited with what they can carry and have to make hard choices.
