Service is a huge part of everything I do. For the past four years I have taken part in Cardinal Stritch University's Alternative Spring Break Trips. Usually this means spending a week with Habitat for Humanity. This year we traveled to New Orleans and worked with Camp Restore. Each day we worked in a different area of the community and it was really exciting to be able to help out where there is still so much need even seven years after Katrina.
I also had the honor of creating a short video to give a general idea of our experience to people who supported our trip. It was a challenge to show them both sides of the trip. One that was so emotion filled because there is still a huge amount of need for volunteers in New Orleans and the other that shows the fun we had coming together as a group. The two combined to give everyone who attended the trip an amazing set of memories from their spring break, myself included.
Here is the link to watch the video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keEdJB-a6kE
