"Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown and undiscovered brothers." --Howard Thurman
The Road Builds Us
In 1958 a group of students went to a small, rural village in Sri Lanka and built schools, houses, and toilets alongside the villagers. They shared meals, song, and dance and called their program shramadana (gift of labor). This act of kindness led to what is now known as the Sarvodaya movement. Last month, in the same spirit of shramadana, a group of students in Nepal went to a small village to help rebuild a damaged trail. This inspiring video shares their amazing story.
