Today was the last official day of intercession, and I don't think we could have finished our session in any better way. Yesterday, before venturing to coalition, we were assigned a final project for the academic portion of our intercession. For this project, we were told to make an active commitment plan. To be entirely honest, I was expecting a few minor commitments scattered throughout various papers displaying a few different creative lenses. What I encountered tonight, however, was an incredible group of people with incredibly large commitments to change the world on an incredible scale. Here is the gist of everyone's active commitments:
Shree- education and agriculture in Nepal
Avani- Zee Bags
Mariana- The Humbler
Grace- WiTs (Words to Strangers)
Me (Abby)- real beauty sketches
Andrew- including the homeless and being conscious of the environment
Cailah- Go Bags (and washing our feet which was touching beyond compare)
Kamil- message a homeless man who inspired him every week
Meghan- let people know how much they have impacted her life
Jackie- information and resources for the homeless
Robby- formal declaration of commitment
Divya- education and literacy around the world
Elena- LGBTQ+ rights ally
Kristyn- awareness of animal abuse
Brandon- petition to change panhandling laws
Thank you all so much for making this a perfect week of friendship and learning. I hope the students who have the opportunity to attend this immersion next year have even half as much fun as we did. :)
