Good relationships are a key component of building a valuable community and/or supportive village. We have to intentionally harness both our differences and our likeness by engaging with each other in spaces much like the homes we assisted with today. I think our individual goals were met in various ways, and, most importantly, a group of people who had never met before but live or work in close proximity to each other were intentional with their words and actions, thus creating new relationships, a sense of genuine support, and enlarging a like-minded community.
The physical aspect of my experience was invigorating, while the conversations and interactions with the other volunteers were authentic, educational, and uplifting relationally. I appreciate this opportunity and look forward to serving again in future projects.
