Here we go again!
Our groups leave this Sunday for our annual Alternative Spring Break experience and it is a year for change. The biggest change is in location and there is sadness with that. Our efforts to secure enough work for our group on the Gulfcoast were ultimately unsuccessful, so we had to think about other areas that might need willing hearts and hands. We found that though there is still much to be done in Louisiana and Mississippi, we could not find an organization there to connect to. We will miss our friends there and we will miss being in the warm and welcoming culture that has endured itself to a bunch of Kentuckians. We have been changed by our experiences there and that isn’t something that ever goes away.
But, we are looking forward and we are excited for this new adventure! One group of us is heading to Lake County, Indiana. It’s one of the poorest areas in the country and we will be working with the Metro United Way there on a shelter and food pantries. We will also be sending students once again to Appalachia to work with CAP and the poor in our own backyard.
Both trips are full of promise and hope!
Stay tuned…
