See It: The Community being helped

Emerson ASB was started last year by myself Erika Rydberg. I founded ASB to give a chance to students to be fully involved in service over their Spring Break. Last year we went to New Orleans all the way from Boston through Habitat for Humanity with 12 students present. We helped rebuild in East New Orleans and stayed at a gutted school house in St. Bernard Parish. During the break the leader and I ran reflection activities. After our break we had an open forum discussing New Orleans and what we experienced there. This year the program has expanded one trip will be going to the Gulf Coast to work in Waveland Mississippi working there locally to help rebuild, while also going to Washington DC and working with the Youth Service Opportunities Project to help with homelessness organizations there. We have raised all of the funds ourselves through letter writing and fundraisers.
