Poverty Simulation – Community Engagement Class – Vanguard College Preparatory School

We are proud of the Community Engagement class for completing the 2 night Mission Waco Poverty Simulation. The hands-on educational experience about global and local poverty is an opportunity for individuals to build character, empathy, compassion and much more. Thank you to our outstanding faculty/parent sponsors and Mission Waco for all you do for Waco and beyond.

Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human. – Henri J.M. Nouwen
