first day

Today we went to kairos for the first time, I was very apprehensive and didn't know what to think. 
My first thought was going to be a big group of people walking round in white clothes but straight away my judgement was broken to be faced with friendly faces and instantly being mad to feel comfortable and to feel at home. 

The first person we talked to was mossy who was basically described as "the face" of kairos and instantly I could see that. Before meeting anyone we were briefed in the main hall about what kairos was about, and something that really stuck out to me was when mossy described everyone as people and the people we will be working with have just had a hard start in life but they have taken a opportune moment in time to change that. 

However being complete strangers to the members of kairos it didn't sease to amaze me how honest they were, as I myself wouldn't feel comfortable telling my darkest moments to a stranger let alone a room full. This therefore changed my perception of people and gave me full and the up most respect for the community we will be working with.
