npr: Two evenings a week, single dad David Barnes drops his young daughters Kayla and Alexis off for a while at The Homeless Children’s Playtime Project in Washington, D.C. There they can frolic with other homeless children, ages 1 to 11, from the nearby D.C. General shelter. Thanks to the project’s volunteers. On a recent night, Nikki Zumbrun, 22, and Cecilia Volterra, 23, are reading with a couple of the 40-or-so kids. Shade Mallory, 27, likes to hang with the older girls. “We practice dance moves,” she says. Outside, the unemployed Barnes sits alone — smoking a cigarette, soaking in the quiet.
