Cafe Reconcile

After class on Friday we (the four of us, both our teachers and our TA) went to Cafe Reconcile for lunch. Joining us was a relief group from UNC who was down in New Orleans volunteering for the week. The cafe employs youth from the Mid-City area and places them in workforce development programs. They teach their participants skills viable in the restaurant business and also gives them a sense of entrepreneurship. Cafe Reconcile gives youth a chance to gain work experience and skills that they might otherwise not have the opportunity to learn and gives them marketable skills in the workforce. Not should you go to this cafe to show your support for this great cause, the food is delicious!
