LivExperience is a NEW and exciting take on the old idea of community service. Although it has the same function, it is time to redefine the necessary. Rather than looking at the world and parts of the community as helpless and needy LivExperience is a way for friends to get together on a random morning and get a dose of happiness to take with that hangover. On this page you can post your pictures & stories for the public to see!

De Colores
Community + Friendship + Progress + Education + And of course, the TACOS
Here we have the simple equation for De Colores, a monthly trip to Mexico which I've had the distinct pleasure of participating in for the last few years. I didn't really do much service when I was growing up, and upon arriving at LMU I found myself yearning to help someone besides myself for once. I heard about DC through various channels. And the next thing I knew I was crossing the border, acquainting myself with a new community, and of course, eating lots of yummy tacos.
The activities inherent to any given De Colores outing are plentiful and varied. You'll help build houses, play soccer with the locals, visit orphanages and immigration houses, sing, dance, learn about geopolitical issues, and the list goes on. You'll also get really dirty, really tired, and really full from all the fantastic Mexican food that seems to never stop coming your way. It's a blast to say the least. I'm not one to often say that something "OMGchangedmylifeOMGGGG", but in all seriousness, I started to look at things quite differently after I got back from my first DC trip. Some of my friends have also mentioned a renewed sense of appreciation and personal fulfillment, amongst other things. Now I don't want to give too much away.. and for brevity's sake, I will end my little blurb here. But if you have any questions about De Colores, please do not hesitate to comment and ask. =]

Project Angel Food
For an English/Philosophy course I am enrolled in at Loyola Marymount University, I have a requirement to do 20 service hours at a non-profit organization that challenges my moral and/or religious beliefs. As I have been working in community service programs for most of my life I didn't think it would be overly difficult to take on this assignment. In fact, I was excited to have a recognizable reason for including community service back into my daily life.
I chose to work at Project Angel Food where I could work in a kitchen cooking meals and also do deliveries to people with HIV/Aids and other fatal illnesses.
