NSM - College of Wooster Fall Break October 2018
NSM - College of Wooster Fall Break October 2018
We welcomed our second group from the College of Wooster this year during their fall break. There were five college students and two College staff.
The group worked three days in our breakfast program, one afternoon with Habitat and one afternoon with People to People. They met with Awareness in Motion and visited MOCA house.
We at North Street Mission want groups to have a meaningful week and hope that they continue to go on mission trips in the future. Part of this process involves getting feedback from the groups. Here is a summary of the feedback from the College of Wooster group:
College of Wooster 10/7/18 - 10/10/18
I believe that NSM can make a difference by:
* Continuing to dedicate their time and energy to serving the Wooster community and showing others HOW they serve.
* Reaching out to the college to help students understand the community.
* Showing a side of the city that is often unseen.
* Can achieve the goal of helping a larger population and impacting their lives.
* By remaining an open minded and respectful place to be.
* Identifying people who WANT help and using resources to facilitate that help for them specifically.
