Abstract
Students travel to West Virginia and live with a community that serves those of the area in various forms of outreach. There are opportunities for assisting in home repair, tutoring children, gathering and cooking for community night, visiting elderly and/or homebound…and coming to know the particular strengths and perspectives of those who deal with poverty day to day, all their lives. The community the students live with emphasizes the importance of simplicity, prayer, service, community and sustainability. The course itself has three components; academics, service and reflection.
