The world is very gray today: It's raining in New York City.
From the outside, the building looks like any other old hotel in midtown Manhattan, but it is one of the largest migrant centers for families with children in the city. About 3,500 people are housed here.
Inside the building, the light is dim and there's the constant murmur of people shuffling in and out. Somewhere in this labyrinth of hallways, there's a room that's in technicolor.
This is the meeting point for a Girl Scouts troop, in partnership with New York City Health and Hospitals.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel If we could have some of the girls meet twice or three times a week and just color together, or sing together or talk about community development together, that is such a win," Zaid said. "They come here with a suitcase or one backpack and so we are trying to help them live an actual fulfilling life."
