Retreat Reflection from J. Provoznik, LCCC
Our Athens retreat brought me back to remembering that our country has absolute poverty, too. We just hide it really well whether it is out in the country or in the city isolated. I also learned the extreme differences of battling poverty in a city verse in the country. Transportation is always a problem, but the extent of the transportation issue is huge. With Friends and Neighbors, people were coming from West Virginia to get food!
