We pull up into the driveway and get out of the van. Before reaching the door of the building, a few young girls shyly approach us. Those regulars, the ones whom they know, are whisked away to a game of pool or arts and crafts. The rest of us receive curious stares as we enter. Children's laughter fills the cluttered room with warmth.
Kids scurry by, heading towards the gym or pool tables.
A row of trophies line one wall, sealed off in a glass case. Dusty computers rest on a long card table beside the window. Small children and some St. Paul's students rotate around the make-shift Four Square grid on the worn, gray carpeting. The tape marking the game's boundaries peels at the edges and is missing in most sections. An SPS girl battles three young boys, who wear T-shirts and baseball caps, in a game of foosball.
