Service Trips for Winter Break

by Betsy Chapman

In the next month, the Pro Humanitate Institute will announce service trips for next winter break (late December 2015– January 2016) to Vietnam and India.  Our service trip in India, where students serve with the Missionaries of Charity, was our inaugural international service program, founded in 1994.  As part of this program, students also travel to New Delhi and Agra to visit the Taj Mahal.  Our Vietnam service trip started in 2002.  During this program, students have helped to build schools, mercy houses, and playgrounds, as well as teaching English, spending time with local families, and engaging in cultural travel.

The cost for each trip is approximately $3,800.  Student participants have described their service as life-changing and transformational.

Applications for these trips will be available by February 28th.  For further information, please contact Dr. Mary Gerardy, Associate Vice President for Campus Life and Director of Global Engagement, Pro Humanitate Institute (gerardym@wfu.edu)
