They learned and experienced a lot.
But what is the value of all the travel and learning if it only benefits the participants? Part of Enlace is about enriching the communities that send participants. So the 2010 Enlace team wants to share their stories - with their families, friends, churches, and ...you!
"We have a whole new perspective on consumerism, the projects of MCC, wealth disparity, natural disasters, and mining, "says Enlace co-leader, Hannah Redekop. "We've come home to share with you about things we have experienced first hand, and advocate about issues that have become very dear to us. I encourage you to listen and learn."
The Enlace "experience was very enriching and taught me much about what it is like to live with less," said one recently returned participant, Thomas Loepp-Thiessen. "I have learned to be skeptical about what I perceive myself needing, and traveling has made me more compassionate to the less fortunate, and more empathetic about international issues."
They want to share their stories. Do you want to hear them? If so, let us know. You can invite them to come to you. Or we can let you know where the Enlace Team will be speaking this fall.
