ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK
Each year, BU's community service center sends hundred of students in some places that had some disasters or where communities are threatened for example: Montana, Louisiana...
This program was founded in 1987 and it gives to students the opportunity to spend their holidays helping other people and doing something for others.
I think it is an amazing experience and you can follow them on Twitter:
During this time, you can learn a lot about you but also you can develop leadership skills, patience, relationships... it is a great experience using your time helping people who need it.
Examples of tasks:
- restock food pantries
- carry for the ill
- tutor children
....
DAY -1...!
