It was yet another quiet day at the BCIRT. Not a single off task kid on courtyard one all day. (Yay for a small success!!) So I've decided to share a couple of links with you all. The first one is about the first person I ever talked to from Youth Villages. Her name is Sister Barbara Spencer and I'm pretty sure she is the most amazing woman I will ever meet. She was in charge of hiring all the interns and has been on board with Youth Villages since day one. She is absolute sunshine when she walks into a room and you can tell how much everyone here respects her.

This next link is a YouTube video called "Extreme Measures." It is an original Youth Villages video that explains really well what YV is trying to accomplish with all their kids.
