Welcome Message

In the next 30 days I will be documenting my own educational, travel-based adventure!

The Mission: To discover the root causes of urban poverty in the United States through service-learning experiences across the US.

The Method: Completing service projects in 11 cities of the US that each explores one of the root causes of urban poverty in America.

The Outcome: To create an educational dialogue that provides citizens across the US with the tools on how they can contribute the little time they have to helping their own communities come together and problem solve for a better tomorrow.

I invite you to open your mind and join me on my journey!
Those that let their minds soar, fly JetBlue!

And I'm Off...in 5 Days

Well folks, here it is! The long awaited itinerary for the trip! I can’t believe that in just 5 short days I will be standing, in hopefully a very short JetBlue boarding line.  Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my fund and I continue to encourage donations for my project.  In order to fully facilitate an urban poverty experience, I will be living off a budget of $933.00 for the entire 30 days.  This represents the amount of money an individual living at the poverty line lives on each month out of a year.  My plane ticket, which I purchased, will act as my housing costs since I have generous hosts in every city! So, on my trip I will be living on roughly $15.00 - $20.00 a day for food and transportation costs.  Rough I know but I will hopefully feel the pressures that come with living at the poverty line.

Below is the final itinerary for my trip.  Each heading represents the symptom of poverty that I will be addressing in each city! Enjoy and again thank you all for the tremendous outpouring of support you have all shown me thus far!

CHEERS!
