"In the beginning of this trip, I was unaware about the hurricane and how strong of an effect it had on New Orleans. I knew this trip would be an eye opener but now as I sit on my sixth day here, my eyes do not shut."
Excerpt from a blog post by Julena Ariel Cone, a student at San Francisco State Julena is one of the 113 young people that we engaged in service learning in the month of January. Traveling to New Orleans from New York City, San Francisco, Delaware and Binghamton, they renovated houses, built a wheelchair ramp, created community gardens, and renovated a church. Trading their energy and sweat for a deeper understanding of the slow progress of transformation, these young people gained valuable insight into the role our community can play in affecting change. Many of these trips were held over the Martin Luther King Jr., holiday. And, with so much written about Dr. King last month, I couldn't help but ask myself: is this what he envisioned?
