I had this idea that a jobless teenager could do. Plant a flower garden like this one. Its a $10 flower garden with instructions. After you have some flowers growing the jobless teenager picks them and visits a local nursing home visiting residents to deliver flowers. Each week the teenager picks more flowers and delivers them to the same residents. They could even go to goodwill and buy up a bunch of 25 cent glass vases for the flowers. As the person builds relationships with the resident they could start to glean stories. If the teenager was a good writer (like my sister Boni is) he/she could journal about the experience or write down stories that are gleaned from the residents. A parent wanting their child to do this could use incentives like movie tickets and I-pods at the end of the summer.
Anyway, I thought this would be a cool thing to do and that someone (Not to mention any names like Boni or Anita) should do it. Besides, a flower garden is a nice thing.
