YWCA For a Better Life

At the beginning of this week, our group had an idea of what we wanted to do for the final service project but we had not officially made any important decisions. Now it is easy, and safe, to say that we have come a long way in our plans and commitments for this project. We met as a group Wednesday evening and came up with all the plans. The YWCA is excited to have us volunteer for them, and I am proud of our small group for helping out a class that is easily over-looked in our society.
The abused women at the YWCA are in a class of their own, a group, if you will. Although their group spans several countries, they all share the same common theme. This is where the symbolic convergence theory steps in, because each member shares true stories, and that is what shapes their group's identity. These women may feel locked up in an emotional sense, unable to communicate the way they'd like to. By providing the phones the Guardians of B230 and the Purdue community will, these women can open up and communicate freely.
