HANDS Service Opportunities
Hello! We are HANDS, a non-profit organization founded by three Guatemalan Notre Dame students in 2008 that provides short-term volunteer experiences in Guatemala and El Salvador. We're writing to spread the word to Notre Dame Alumni Clubs and their members about the volunteer opportunities we offer.
As an organization with strong ties to Notre Dame, we understand and admire the commitment of the Notre Dame community to service. Since 2008, we've attracted over 220 volunteers from Notre Dame and other universities who travel to Guatemala or El Salvador and work in education, housing, or medicine, representing more than 3,000 hours of volunteer service. We accept volunteers year-round, from all ages and nationalities, and we'd like to invite you and your members to discover the power of making a difference through volunteerism.
As an Alumni Club, we know that you have committed to the 6 C's. We believe that we can help you enhace strong values of social responsibility and fulfill your Community Service requirement by arranging trips for alumni who wish to help others and volunteer abroad. It is truly an amazing experience!
Please consider helping us promote our organization to your Alumni Club. More information about HANDS can be found on our website, our Facebook page (follow us!) and/or you can contact us directly through this email address. We would love to give you more information about our service opportunities in Central America and the many ways you can impact others!

SUMMER THEOLOGY ON TAP
The Archdiocese of Washington Office Young Adult Ministry presents the Summer Theology on Tap series: How Can I Find God? From NGO's to CEO's. It will take place at Buffalo Billiards on Dupont Circle on the following Tuesdays: August 20. All young adults (21-late 30s) are invited for Happy Hour from 6-7pm with a talk and Q/A to follow from 7-8pm. Catholic leaders from across a variety of professions (legal, medical, social service, financial, ministerial, etc.) will be answering the question that so many adults, and especially young adults, ask amid the busyness and distractions of DC life: "How can I find God?" These presenters will share how and where they have found God and continue to find God in their personal and professional lives. Learn more at www.facebook.com/DCYoungAdult or at www.adw.org/tot or email Jonathan Lewis at yam@adw.org.
ND-DC is taking a survey to see how we're doing and would love you input! You can participate here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2753DDF
We thank you for your continued support for our club and look forward to seeing you at club events this summer.
