Buenos Dias! For the 16th year, members of the Cabrini University family departed on Saturday, February 22nd for San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala, for a mission immersion trip. Previously the trip was included as part of the curriculum of a class offered to Cabrini students, led by Cabrini faculty Dr. Jerry Zurek and Dr. Ray Ward.
Over the years, numerous alumni, faculty, staff, families and friends have joined the students on this trip. Now that Cabrini University has closed, it was important to the Cabrini University community to continue our partnership with the “Friends of San Lucas” non-profit organization and to work alongside and learn from the Maya people.
At the end of the day building the house, two volunteers, Faith and Jake led a nightly reflection on the topic of uniting workers to build an economy that put people (not profit) at the center. Surely, Cabrini mission in action!
