St. Joseph County Kids at the Juvenile Justice Center are reaching out to the community. On Thursday they donated several doghouses to Pet Refuge. The kids have been building the doghouses for a month. It's a way for them to use math and learn skills they can use in their everyday lives. Vicki McIntire from the Juvenile Justice Center says, “If you can shingle a dog house, you can shingle your own house, right? It has vinyl siding on it, so if you can put vinyl siding on a dog house, you can put vinyl siding on your own home.” Some other projects the young detainees have been working on are construction of a solar water fountain and painting a mural on a courtyard wall.
