September+22,+2008+-+Field+Work+Day

We had a great day at PACTT, both active and thought-provoking. After receiving a brief video overview of PACTT's mission, the students were placed in various classrooms and helped to support the educational and life skills activities that were taking place. We were confronted with an interesting civil rights dilemma in the adult vocational program. PACTT students (ages 19 - 22, all male) were being helped to practice registering to vote. We are unsure if they are even aware of the issues and candidates involved in the upcoming election, but we are also sensitive to their rights as American citizens. It will be interesting to see how this process plays out in the upcoming weeks.
