Hey UNL students,
The Center thought you would enjoy hearing a little bit about the Spring ASB trips to see if you would like to plan on going on one of our alternative service breaks in the future. We will be posting up one or two short reflections for the next few days.
Two students who went on the Joplin, Missouri trip.
-I found the Joplin trip to be a complete eye-opener. One of the days we helped an elderly couple, who happened to be hoarders, clean up their property. The couple was so appreciative for everything us volunteers had done for them. They really opened up to us and shared their life story and were constantly thanking and hugging us. It amazed me that two people who had gone through so much in life and after such a disaster still had the strength to be passionate and appreciative for everything they continue to have.
-You come into the trip and see the destruction and are immediately overwhelmed. You leave recognizing the difference you made and wanting to help more.
