Alternative Spring Breaks 2007 : “Be the Change…"
Instead of hitting the beach, you (Western students) have the chance to participate in an intensive, hands-on service project during Reading Week 2007, organized by The Centre for New Students and Western Residence Life (Housing and Ancillary Services). You may choose to build affordable housing with Habitat for Humanity in the US, work with orphaned and abandoned children in the Dominican Republic, or choose 1 of the newly designed opportunities in Mexico (working with the indigenous Mexican people and culture) or London (with an array of agencies throughout the week)!

You will participate in pre- trip meetings, team-building activates and fundraising initiatives in the months leading up the trip departure. A university staff member and 2 student co-trip leaders facilitate both the service project and the intentional reflection activities during the trips. Each year, students return from these trips re-energized about their academic study, passionate about their choice of career and eager to engage in service in the London community! Student and Co-Trip leader applications are due Friday November 3, 2006! Detailed trip and application information can be found online at http://www.has.uwo.ca/housing/rlmt/asb.htm. Questions can be emailed to asb@uwo.ca
