Immigration

Immersion
East LA/ San Diego
Trip Dates: Jan 2nd-Jan 7th, 2012

Participants/leaders on the San Diego/East L.A. trip engaged in direct service and gained an empowering awareness of all aspects encompassing the issue of immigration. The first two days of the trip started in San Diego, where participants worked with Border Angels, a non-profit organization supporting humanity. The organization consists of extraordinary volunteers who want to stop unnecessary deaths of individuals, as a result of hazardous conditions and hate crimes. The remaining four days, participants stayed in East Los Angeles, where they worked with the Guadalupe Homeless Project through Proyecto Pastoral at the Dolores Mission, a Jesuit parish in the economically and politically disenfranchised community of Boyle Heights. Dolores Mission has helped create such instituions like Guadalupe Homeless Project and Homeboys and Homegirls . Students worked to empower the community personally and socially by developing grassroots projects in education, leadership, and service. Students also had the chance for a homestay during the trip. Throughout the trip, the group developed a deeper understanding of the challenges facing inner-city communities in Los Angeles.
