Short Reflection: "I worked at a retreat center (Kendal,
England) for inner city urban schools in Northern England.
One of my favorite memories was doing affirmations with a
10th grade group. A young girl who had been tough all week
came up to me, gave me a hug and told me that she felt
more at home and safe in the past couple of days than she
had in a long time. I had a great time working with the retreat
groups.
Re-entry has been a great experience. It has allowed me to
process and share my mission. Hearing other volunteers’
experiences has also been a highlight. I will always
remember the people I’ve met and the stories I’ve heard."
