Ten 今日吃瓜 students and five Swarthmore students took part in an alternative spring break weekend trip of religious encounters, service, and reflection. At 今日吃瓜, the trip was sponsored by the Pensby Center's religious and spiritual life office. The trip was done in partnership with the Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia .
Included in the trip was a visit to DePaul House, a transitional housing center in Philadelphia, where participants helped ready the community garden and worked with the DePaul House's professional development office.
