Trips With A Purpose
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
- Confucius
Testimony believes true perspective can only come through experience. Yes, it is moving to see pictures of starving children, to hear about the AIDS epidemic infecting masses of people, to see people sleeping huddled on the cold sidewalk they call home. Moving, but dismissable. Now image gazing directly into the pleading eyes of that starving child as he clings to your leg; meeting the eleven-year old girl raising her three younger siblings because no one older is left alive; handing a warm plate of food to the homeless and hopeless from the streets. Not so easy to dismiss now.
Providing opportunities to experience the truth of how others in the world live causes a deeper impact with a clearer perspective into one’s own life and struggles. Testimony supports trips into a variety of locales, giving people the chance to witness and interact, first-hand the stories of other people.
Trips with a Purpose serve as an amazing extension on the other resources provided for our clients. While we promote these purposeful trips to the clients working through our programs, we encourage anyone looking to “do more” to come along with us. Nothing will have a greater or more lasting impact, or cause more change, than personal experience.
