Service-Learning Training


When I lived in Savannah I would go to Forsythe Park just about every Sunday to help feed the homeless. Also, one summer I went to Guatemala for two weeks where I worked at an orphanage helping teach orphans basic English and Math. However, this is the first time I’ve ever had service connected to a course. If I could provide service anywhere I would go back to Latin America and continue to help out there. The place I was at was such a beautiful place and full of so much potential. Most everybody there was so nice and I feel like I should go back and help those people out some more. Despite their tough situation, the children at the orphanage were still happy and full of energy. This inspires me to go back and help them realize a better life where they have the some of the luxuries we have in America.

  2. Would you go back to the same community or another country? Either way I am down to go too!
