Hey Everyone, I’m really sad that this experience is coming to an end, but I can’t wait until we’re on campus and I get to see everyone in person. At least for a short time. I reread my first post and I gotta say something was wrong with her. I think a community is not …
In my initial post, I wrote about community and how it pertains to comfort; community as an extension of the home. After working at HOPE Village for these past few weeks, I stand by this definition. So many of the residents would come to the farmers markets week after week, just to sit at our …
