Indianapolis! A memorable experience

March 17, 2015 by Rim Ben Haj Yahia

March 12, 2015 by

This Bear Breaks Spring Break trip to New Orleans has truly been a humbling experience. I have so much respect for these people who realize that they need help, something we all struggle to admit, and yet they are willing to let others come into their life to do just that.
