Title

Loyola Phoenix: Intermission: "Taking the Plunge: Students spend break helping poor"

Description

This article describes the experiences a Loyola student, Mark Guarino, had over spring break with the Urban Plunge, a program sponsored by the Assisi Center. Under the program, students spend 36 hours "working at the soup kitchens, sleeping at a women's shelter, and interacting with people who have no homes." Apart from featuring the stories of individuals they interacted with, Guarino also reflects on the importance of talking and listening to the stories the homeless community has to share.
