Spring Break 2010- West Virginia
















We had 12 people: 8 boys, 2 girls, 1 guy leader, 1 girl leader

We went to Bramwell, WV. Bramwell is located in the Appalachian Mountains, and has a lot of poverty. We did several different service projects while we were there, for example we helped a family by painting a couple of their rooms. We also helped at a local food pantry, by bagging groceries, and we helped hand them out. We also helped out a free medical clinic with Spring cleaning type things, like shredding papers, things that take quite a bit of time, when there isn’t always extra time to give. So through our trip we were able to help out a lot of different people, and see some of the affects of our service.

We saw God soften the hearts of all who were on the trip. I think that it is easy to forget how privileged some of us are, so seeing people barely making it, and houses falling apart was very humbling.
