Introduction/Intent

Hey everybody,

So as the JVI class of 2008 was sitting around during orientation, we came up with the idea that it would be really cool to have a place where we could share ideas, successes, and failures concerning some of the challenges and activities we will all have to do in our different placements across the world. This is an open forum - though not necesarily just a space for venting - and anyone is welcome to comment or expand a conversation.

If you add any new post, please add a corresponding tag so that people can search for different topic threads later on.

As just a reminder from the handbook/covenant, we have all agreed to three common things in regarding building community:
- I will share fully in communal living with my companion JVs and accept responsibility for maintaining a clean, safe and hospitable environment in the home where we live.
- I will enter fully into the community meeting times (minimally 1 hour/week) and regular communty activities such as sharing meals together (minimally 4 times/week).
- I will be honest with my community members and willing to share my life with them. I realize that the community's common good will sometimes require individual sacrifice and compromise.

Enjoy!
