Serve Day

Serve Week culminated yesterday (Saturday) when all of the freshman, student leaders, Student Life staff and First Year Seminar instructors spent several hours doing service projects in the Klaipeda community. Tasks ranged from raking leaves at churches and orphanages, laying AstroTurf at a school for disabled children (to make it easier for them to play outside), and cleaning windows, mopping and picking up trash on LCC's campus. The Spiritual Life team also served by making an appreciation meal to serve to all the participants afterwards. I was able to help out the RAs this year, and we raked leaves and picked up apples at a nearby orphanage, and played games with the orphans for a little while as well. This year I felt like the organization by Student Life was much more effective, and we gave students a picture of why they were serving rather than it just being an obligation. Overall, it was a really positive afternoon!
