Mission Trip, 2012: New Orleans, LA

ESC students are invited to build Christian partnerships through fellowship opportunities and service activities. This trip will provide opportunities for self-discovery through encounters with the other. It is an excellent time for students to engage in meaningful actions and subsequent reflections in a Christian context. In addition, leaders from the Episcopal Services of Louisiana will lead us in exploring complex dynamics of the history of pre and post-Katrina New Orleans.

“ECS serves the most vulnerable members of our community, especially the elderly, the disabled, and youth. Currently, the ministries of ECS include rebuilding hurricane-damaged homes, case management for families struggling to put the pieces of their lives back together, advocacy and community organizing to ensure that residents have a voice in a just and inclusive recovery, youth nonviolence work, and scholarships for African-American children.” http://ecs.edola.org/
