This year, our alternative break service trip to Detroit,MI was fantastic. This trip really opened my eyes in so many ways I have learned to really appreciate life and to accept people for who they are.For some years, the media has always portrayed Detroit in such a negative way but what one needs to remember is that you can’t judge a book by its cover. Even though, Detroit is facing a tough time right now , the people in the city have learned to build diversity in their community. Everyone in each and every part of city of Detroit is finding ways to connect with one another. They are finding ways to help improve their health by eating the right nutrition. Organizations such as Earthworks and Freedom Freedom Growth is striving to promote health awareness for the community . Overall, I really enjoyed the trip it was awesome. Everyone that we came across, demonstrated hospitality and they included us as part of their table.
