The last course of the semester at CCSP is Sustainable Community Development – Integration Week. This course is taught by our program director here in Belize, Derek Rosenberger. This week was packed with thought provoking articles, challenging films, lively discussions, thoughtful presentations and delicious hot drinks. Students explored the deeper questions that this semester has been developing in them. What is at the heart of the great failures to care for the earth and its people? How are we called specifically to address these issues? Are we doing enough? What can we do? What does Christ call us to do? What will I do? Thoughts and ideas flew across the table and personal commitments were formulated and discussed.
Throughout the semester we talked about the need to re-imagine the world around us and renew what has been destroyed. To finish off the week we did a small bit of creative renewing of our own! Through our Trash Art Show the pieces of litter found along the roads that pass through our local village were transformed into some wonderful pieces of art. Take a look!
