Bruce Smith By Kathleen Szmit kszmit@barnstablepatriot.com The first thing you notice when you step onto the grounds of the Calvary Baptist Church in Hyannis is the smell. The air, even in a strong March wind, still carries the acrid scent of wood charred in a late night fire that occurred at the church March 13. This week a group of contractors, architects and building inspectors met at the church to assess the damage and work to determine the best course of action in regards to the building. Organized by Jimmy Dishner and Diane Casey Lee of the Cape Cod Council of Churches, the March 26 meeting featured a building walk- through that allowed those present to see firsthandthe extent of the damage.

E very Monday morning, Lauren Abraham of Centerville gets to revisit the wonderful world of child- hood. The mother of two spends time playing with infants and toddlers who live at Angel House, a sober living program for homeless mothers and their children on the Cape. "It's an opportunity to interact with these children and for them to have some meaningful con- nections," said Abraham, a vol- unteer with Horizons for Home- less children, a nonprofit agency whose mission is to improve the lives of young children without homes, and their families. A stay-at-home mother, Abra- ham began volunteering with the aeencv a ve#f and a half ago. While the mothers attend a group meeting Abraham spends an hour and a half playing with their children, who range from newborns to 1 1/2-year olds. She uses a variety of tools including blocks, puppets, toys, paint and music to teach them social skills, model positive be- havior and help them learn how to play constructively. Her f avoritepart of her vol- unteer job is spending time with the infants. "I love babies," she said. Abraham engages in "infant play" and developmental exercis- es, plays music and gives them tender loving care by holding them and rocking them to sleep. She takes her weekly volunteer commitment seriously. "It doesn't take a lot of time, but it makes a difference," she said. "It's important for the children. They look forward to seeing you." It's an "awesome" experience, Abraham said, especially for individuals who are going into the fields of education or/hpcial work like herself. She's gone back to school to become a so- cial worker and attends Bridge- water State University. "It's a win-win for everybody," she said. "You see these kids grow, change and develop. It's so fulfilling ." Horizons for Homeless Chil- dren has been providing services in five regions throughout the state since 1994.
