For the rest of the summer, the Atlanta blog will be filled with reflections by the summer staff and summer mission trip participants. This will give you a great chance to hear first hand the impact of our programs and the ways it makes our participants think about our world and community. This week, Alisha, one of our summer staff, reflected on our leadership word of the week: "Teamwork".
~Jannan Thomas, DOOR Atlanta City Director
"This week the summer D.O.O.R staff was given several activities and opportunities to work together as a team. We have done scavenger hunts, team building activities, shopping extravaganzas, and a mini-documentary on hospitality. During all these activities we had to operate as a team in order to accomplish the task or to get to our destination. The word that kept popping up throughout these activities was trust. One of my teammates would reiterate the need for us to trust one another. We had to trust our teammates as we were led blindfold through an obstacle. We had to trust that our teammates knew where they were going on the MARTA public transit system. And we had to trust the skills and knowledge of each other as we created our mini-documentary. I believe that throughout the summer as we continue to discover the gifts, skills, talents and knowledge that each team member possesses, we will build up our trust in each other and the gifts we bring to the table. We will begin to recognize that we all have something to offer and contribute to making this summer a success."
Alisha, DOOR Atlanta Summer Discern Staff
