El Paso Museum of History – Andres Valle, Week 3

Better late than never! 

My time here at the El Paso Museum of History has been extremely fulfilling—ever so reminding me of the power community holds and the need to highlight our history.

Wednesday was the first day of week three for me. I spent time visiting Centre Future, a program the library offers, which also happens to be where I will be hosting my workshop. With the staff there, we discussed the logistics of the event and the framing of the workshop: conversation, presentation, etc. After our quick chat, I continued to work on the activities I wanted to have at the workshop—calling it a day!

The following    day, Thursday, I spent more time on my presentation and helped with one of the cool programs the museum was hosting—Architecture Camp! A program that brings high school-aged students together, who then design a structure and help build it; the structure will be highlighted in the museum for the next several weeks! 


On Friday, the week ended with me talking more with Centre Future staff about my project and the possibilities of further collaboration in the near future. One cornerstone of Centre Future is mental health
awareness, making me and them a perfect match. I spent the rest of the day helping with whatever was needed at the museum and wrapped the week up.




This week was a calmer week, nonetheless fruitful. One last week, and boy does time fly. Missing all my 19 other friends, especially bad this week. But I bask in all your greatness!

See y'all next week :) 

The baddest,

Andres

I've helped many people renew their memberships and been in contact with some pretty important donors, like the former mayor of Fresno and other important business people in the Central Valley. Hi Sudan! ❦    On Tuesday, my boss decided to take me on a little field trip over to a marketing agency building down the street. The building was historic, and actually used to be a theater. I learned a lot about the various roles within a marketing agency, ranging from web developers to an audio engineer. I don't have many pictures of the building since people were working and it was a bit of a short tour, but I did get this picture of a rhino statue. I got to learn more about the businesses in downtown Fresno, and it really opened my eyes to a place that I had assumed I knew ...
