Apopka Service Trip—Enjoy the Photos!
From June 9 to June 15, twelve students traveled to Apopka, Florida to work with the Hope Community Center, which serves Central Florida’s immigrant and working poor communities through education, advocacy, and spiritual growth.
The group spent the week living alongside migrant families, sharing in meals and conversation, and working in the town’s farms. During the week, the group examined the realities of immigration and labor practices that shape the experience of immigrants, and considered the joys and anxieties of all those seeking to find a livelihood in the United States. The students wrestled with large questions, but also did research of the heart as they got the chance to spend time with immigrant families and talk about how to bring their experience back to Eye Street.
We hope you enjoy these great photos from the trip!
