Chi Alpha @ Stanford

Check it out: our very own Chi Alpha pres­i­dent, Luis Tru­jillo, is in the Stan­ford Daily for help­ing to con­struct a com­mu­nity cen­ter for abused teens, for­mer pros­ti­tutes and oth­ers in Guatemala: Class designs facil­ity for Guatemalan town.

The Guatemalan facil­ity will be a cam­pus for the Cen­ter for the Restora­tion of Women and the Socially Dis­re­garded, also referred to as the CEREM project, after the Chris­t­ian orga­ni­za­tion spon­sor­ing its devel­op­ment. The cen­ter will act as a res­i­den­tial cen­ter and school for home­less chil­dren and for­mer pros­ti­tutes, as well as a church and place of retreat.

…

Luis has actu­ally been a key player in this thing from start to fin­ish. He’s got a mar­ginal role in the arti­cle, but Luis is the guy who set the ball in motion, hooked CEREM up with the Stan­ford class, and has gen­er­ally been push­ing to make it happen!

Way to go, Luis! We’re proud of you: get­ting a Stan­ford class to design a Chris­t­ian min­istry cen­ter is an awe­some way to lever­age the gifts and oppor­tu­ni­ties God has given you.

UPDATE: there’s another arti­cle on the Stan­ford web­site that cov­ers the project from a slightly dif­fer­ent angle. It also gives Luis a lit­tle more promi­nence (well-deserved, I might add).
