Introductions to Indy

Hey all!

My name is Francis Ahrens and I would like to welcome you to our trip blog! My co-trip leader, Makaila Scheiber, and I are extremely excited to embark on this journey with our group. Our trip is going to emphasize agriculture, poverty, and education. We are going to be working with Global Peace Initiatives, Rebuilding the Wall, and a school district to work on their renovation and sustainability projects. We have already had our first trip meeting and our group is extremely excited to head out to Indianapolis! Along with Makaila and myself, the group consists of undergraduate and graduate students. They are Ellen Herbig, Aubrey Snedeker, Mary Keathley, Clay Stacy, Savanna Stanley, Emily Cassimatis, Boun Sengpraseuth, Johnathan Saunders, Alex Johnson, and Brett McKnight! With this being our introductory post, here are some videos so that you can familiarize yourself with our trip.
