The middle of the week: the follow up story

I woke up early this morning to do a follow up story of the visitors center. I went to the training meeting at city hall and interviewed one of the volunteers and a woman in charge. I memorized the name of the organization on my way there to make sure my facts were right. I was afraid when I walked into city hall because I didn’t know what to expect. But everyone was very nice and welcoming and it was a win-win for both of us. They get exposure of their volunteer training and I get a story. I learned that giving your sources enough time to AC is crucial, and people are usually friendly enough because they want to help you help them.

I feel the more people I interview and the more places I go I get to meet new people, have new experiences and become more familiar with strangers. People in Columbia are very friendly!
