[homeles_ot-l] Ask Me Ottawa: What are you doing for spring break? Read about what some Carleton students are doing to make a difference

[Derek Antoine]

The Ask Me Ottawa campaign is pleased to share another wonderful story  
of volunteers working to make a difference. This week is Spring Break  
for most Carleton and uOttawa students. This means a few lucky  
students are taking some much deserved time off and soaking in the sun.

A group of Carleton students are instead participating in Alternative  
Spring Break Ottawa where they are spending the week volunteering in  
the homelessness community. Some of you may have seen them already.

"Some of us are volunteering because we want to understand  
homelessness from a new perspective. Some of us are volunteering  
because we want to understand ourselves a little better. Some of us  
could have gone to Cuba this week, but decided to make an impact here  
at home. Some of us are entering the world of volunteering for the  
first time. This is Alternative Spring Break Ottawa, one of five  
community service learning projects students are participating in this  
week through Carleton University."
