In this edition of Fearless Friday, we’re highlighting one of the newer service projects that Gettysburg College is involved with: Sherfy Battlefield Garden.

The garden is located just off of Emmitsburg Road by the house that, in 1860, belonged to Joseph Sherfy and his family.

I’m with some friends I know well and some people I barely know, but they all seem nice enough to share a late night meal. I’m starving.

I have been in Ghana only for a few days, and I can already tell I am going to love the place—the people, the food, the environment, all remind me of my home country, Sierra Leone.

It feels like winter, a time for thick socks, boots, warm coats, and… leggings?
Leggings are one of those articles of clothing we completely overdo... Or UNDER-do. From a practicality standpoint, they’re marvels of winter, but why rock the thin, sheer leggings in 0° weather when you could just wear shorts? [excerpt]

After participating in the 2011 Heston Internship in Uganda working in a community on clean water projects, Mike gained a new interest in Global Health. His interest grew and a few months ago he started an internship with charity: water, an organization working to bring access to clean water throughout the world in a way that attempts to break the traditional donation model. At charity: water, Mike is part of a greater group that is working to more closely connect people to specific water projects through financial transparency and innovative fundraising campaigns.
