In a few days, St. Christopher’s service
trip group will be in Cuernavaca, Mexico embarking on
many of our first service trips ever. As the countdown
of days decreases, I am getting more and more excited,
and impatient for the day that we depart from Chicago.
I know I can speak for everyone on the service trip
when I say that we
are all very excited to begin ourjourney, especially the youth. Though helping others
is our primary goal, we also hope to be able to change
our perspective on the world around us. What I wonder
is how this trip to Mexico will achieve that. Will it
be change of culture, as we have discussed many times
at our meetings, or just the opportunity to further
ourselves by helping others that will change our
ideas? Whichever it is, I know we will depart from our
trip with a greater appreciation for what we have and
what we can do for others.
