2022: Day 4, Back at Penn State

The first part of our day had the same schedule as yesterday. We traveled to Sowers Harvest Café for a delicious breakfast before going to Penn State’s campus.

However, instead of Shelly and Abigail, Hannah and Carita took a turn at volunteering in the café.

We walked from Sowers Harvest to the HUB. Shawn and Ernest met us there, and we set up the display table for Happy Valley Christian Community. Like yesterday, some stayed to talk with students who stopped by the table, and others scattered to various parts of the campus to administer surveys , talk with people, and help them get connected to programs and services the organization offers.

Those who administered surveys enjoyed opportunities to talk with people of widely varying religious and cultural backgrounds.

During our last evening in State College, we had an early debrief meeting in which we reflected on things we have been learning about cross-cultural communication and visited Café Alina. We appreciated the hospitality of the restaurant’s proprietors and thoroughly enjoyed the Pakistani food and drinks.

Tomorrow we anticipate traveling to New York City.
