Immersion Experience: Kentucky

WELCOMING HELLOS AND MOURNFUL GOODBYES

Jackson Bricca ‘25, Ignacio Sayers ‘25
As the sites come to a close and the work comes to a point of completion. A wise word from one of our leaders, “we do service to meet the needs of others and sometimes we meet the needs quicker than anticipated.”
Being out here we want to do the best we can, to connect with the locals and most importantly offer the best help and assistance we can. Yet we also need to realize that being with them is just as important as the manual work that gets done. It in a way means more to them to have a person to listen to their stories, to care about their town, and show they are more than the stereotypes. As the trip comes to a close we have been gifted with an inside look of what Eastern Kentuckians have to offer. We stepped outside our Western bubble into a community that has offered nothing yet open arms, they are not dangerous and most definitely not anything less than equal with us.
