[Katrina-IT-Volunteers] Getting supplies

I worked in the children's area this afternoon. It's
all laptops. I wrote a list and left it in the main
area.
There are about a dozen games but a couple don't work.
Some of the bigger kids were disappointed there wasn't
an internet connection.
All the games are educational, but not necessarily the
cool ones. Maybe interest will pick up tomorrow. Some
of the younger kids did play for a while.
One thing that did happen was that some boys were
hitting on one of the girls. She seemed to be okay for
a bit, but she did scoot towards me a little bit. I
finally asked her if she wanted to trade seats with me
- to put her between a little girl and me. The boys
finally got the idea. Hopefully this won't be a
recurring issue.
It was fun working with the kids though. - Andie
