"My experience with the TOOLS program was really great. It really opened my eyes to see how people on the streets actually live and survive. I really enjoyed going on the street walks to learn how people on the street find their food, clothing and shelter.
It was really neat being able to talk to homeless people and realizing that they really aren't as scary or crazy as some people think they are. I had assumed that the homeless would keep to themselves but, I soon found out that most of them seemed to want to talk to someone and they could easily strike up a conversation with you.
I really liked going to another church (Grant A.M.E.) too. It was cool to see how different but yet how similar every church is. I thought it was really neat that we got to kind of explore a lot of Toronto. There were so many places that we went to see and it was a lot of fun just to roam around the streets.
Probably the biggest thing I learned from my experience was how fortunate I am. Since then, I have most definitely been a lot more thankful for everything God has given me."
