“THE HOPE was the most successful mission-service-learning trip I’ve seen, though it was not a school trip but independently organized by the students themselves. It was three days of sustained service. Tiring, but gratitude shown by the community was enough to make it all worth it. The students worked hard, took initiative, never complained, and made the best of every situation. It was hard, but it was fun. And the chance to experience Indonesia outside Jakarta, and to work with the doctors, is something that will forever be valuable.”
