Many months ago (when snow wasn't all over the place) I signed up to go on an alternative spring break trip -- to Oklahoma. I have been looking forward to this trip for months! Travel and community service are my two favorite things to do.
Some of the highlights of our trip include:
Visit Oklahoma City Murrah Building Bombing Memorial
A drive through Moore Oklahoma (the city where the tornado damage occurred)
5 days of volunteering in Oklahoma
Disaster Response Panel
Evening out in Oklahoma
Reflection/Debriefing throughout the week
Dinner with Oklahoma community members
...and so much more!
I have never participated in this type of trip before, but have always dreamed of taking part in an alternative break trip.
One aspect of the trip I am most looking forward to is, meeting individuals who were affected by the tornado; and hearing each person's story. I'm excited to be able to lend a helping hand for a few days, supporting and assisting the Oklahoma community.
What are you doing over spring break?
