Today (Wednesday) we had a very rewarding day. We began at Providence Cristo Rey a Roman Catholic college preparatory school in Indianapolis. This unique program pairs high school students with local corporations. Students go to school four days a week and work one day a week at their corporate placement. This unique educational model gives students a strong work background, tangible experience and the skills necessary to succeed in college. Later in the morning we joined eight PCR students at the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis to help the archdiocese move a large number of materials from one building to another. While helpful, the real learning happened as the high school and college students interacted with one another.

This evening we had dinner with the founder of the Circle of Sisterhood founder Ginny Carroll. She shared the goals and mission of this amazing organization which are to reach out to girls in developing countries and stress the importance of education...

Ms. Carroll invited us to join her and we were lucky enough to go to Butler University to hear America Ferrera speak about education and diversity.

Tomorrow we are off to Rebuilding the Wall!
