World Hunger Relief, Inc.; Elm Mott, TX
Student Leader: Marvin Leopold; Staff Advisor: Kara Trebil

World Hunger Relief, Inc. is a Christian organization committed to the alleviation of hunger around the world.  WHRI is located in Elm Mott, Texas, which is about 30 minutes from Waco.  Their philosophy "is to live simply, helping those who struggle to meet their basic needs by sharing and investing in others what God has given to us."  The work that will be performed on this trip will be anything that a 42-acre farm requires, including tending to animals and crops, performing maintenance on buildings, and working with the local community.  Participants will live in buildings that have the same amenities that many third world countries have.  Modern facilities will be available optionally.

The Phoenix of New Orleans; New Orleans, LA
Student Leader: Theresa Hunter; Faculty Advisor: Tom Javoroski

The Phoenix of New Orleans (PNOLA) is a non-profit organization devoted to the rebuilding and recovery effort of the Lower Mid-City neighborhood in Orleans Parish.  What was once a working-class neighborhood with thriving churches, schools, small and large businesses is now a community struggling to overcome unemployment, poverty, and the devastation rendered by Hurricane Katrina.  Construction work is expected, and training will be provided on-site.  Lecturer Tom Javoroski and Theresa Hunter have worked with PNOLA in the past.
