Thoughts & Feelings
What do you hope to accomplish with your participation on this trip?
While the primary goal of this trip is to dig latrines, which will hopefully benefit the community we serve, I hope to connect with the people of the Dominican Republic. I wish to try and understand the experience of what it is to live as a Discriminated and marginalized citizen. This will hopefully allow me to come to understand the injustice of the world. This understanding will hopefully allow me to think and conduct myself in the future in ways that will lead to justice.
Why is it important for Sigma Chi(and Gamma Pi) to sponsor this activity?
We live in a very isolated community and by visiting and living in this distant and very different culture will expand our understanding the human experience and the world as a whole. It is important as to develop a more realistic view of the world and bring this view back to our chapter as to both spread awareness as hopefully build character.
In your personal experience what has prepared you for this trip?
I have participated in similar service trips to Latin America and local service trips.
