Bolivia Mission Trip

Benedictine University has participated in the Bolivian Mission Trip for the past 7 years.  We are partnered with the Diocese of Joliet, Lewis University and University of St. Francis. Each university brings students, staff and faculty in June of each year to aide the poor individuals of the city of Sucre, Bolivia.  For about two weeks, Missionaries volunteer at day care centers, an orphanage, a neurological center, a hospital, a soup kitchen and half way homes for boys and girls. Students get to experience, first hand, the hardships of living in a third world country and the joy of helping those who need it.
All students, staff and faculty are welcome to participate.
