I expect that what I have learned about myself and about others will influence practically every part of my life from here forward.

My experience was phenomenal; truly there are no words that give justice to what I had experienced and how it all changed me! I am sincerely grateful for having had the incredible opportunity to participate in the service projects. I had always wanted to become involved in service on another level, and working through CCS opened the doorway for me.

[My overall experience] was fantastic! It was a great mix of activities. I loved my free time and perspectives programming. It was a great balance. I got to see so many different perspectives of the culture.

To show their gratitude, the homeless shelter staff invited us to a church service where they recognized our work and therefore encouraged others in the community to go out and do service as well. A TV news station happened to be at the service for Holy Week, heard about us and the shelter and our Good Friday breakfast, and asked to come to it. They ended up doing a piece on us and we were on the news. I am thrilled that we helped the shelter get so much exposure within the community, which hopefully made a lasting impression on their ability to help others.
