Today we had AB
Reunion. All of the Alternative Break teams got together to share our
experience.
AB interns,
coordinators, and alumni gave us the speeches. We got to know that there will be
a resource packet which includes everything related to the AB trips. Videos
from all groups were played on the big screen.
We also did some
activities together.
First, we did a reflection where we tried to think about
our values, what we did during the trip and what we are going to do after the
trip. And we tried to relate them together.
Second, We read and signed the pledge together.
"I am a Breaker and
I am an active member of my community.
I pledge…
To stay connected to
my community
To remember my
Alternative Breaks experience, the people I met, and the communities I served.
To deepen my
understanding of the social, political ad economic structures of our world.
To think critically
about how social justice issues affect people and communities
To take actions that
will change the world to be more socially just.
I pledge to carry
this commitment with me this year & beyond. "
Last, we broke into
groups. We talked about the plan of chalking on Maryland Day.
It was good to see
some of us and to see other Alternative Breakers. I'm looking forward to seeing all of us again!
