    Day 30 𖦹 THE END

    It's official. We have served free tea in Maria Hernandez Park every single day of April. Thank you for everything.  Arnaud is playing the clarinet underneath the poem Initiation Song from the Finders' Lodge by Ursula K. Le Guin. This month was one of the most special of my entire life. It was a true honor to document the people and moments of this corner of the world. I am so grateful. Until next time. 𖦹 FREE TEA FOR ALL 𖦹

    Warning: this is an intense three and a half minutes of audio. Kids should not listen. As we were packing up the equipment, we looked over to see an unconscious man to our left. What followed was about 20 minutes of attempts to revive him. It was serious and heartbreaking. Not bringing this up would feel insincere and hollow. We'll update this description box when we know more about the situation.  𖦹 FREE TEA FOR ALL 𖦹
