Cut It Out!

No, it's not a flashback to your brother or sister yelling at you... it's just an activity.  Often it is hard to express the differences between where you are now (physically and emotionally) and what you are missing from being away from home.  In order to help you, use old magazines and newspapers that you can cut up to express yourself.  Have each person make a collage representing each section:

bullet

What am I missing most ...about my family?  ...about my friends?  ...about "home"?

bullet

What are some gaps I am feeling that keep my apart from ...my co-workers?  ...the people I am serving? ...my community?

bullet

What are some positive things I am feeling right now that help me bridge those gaps?

Take turns sharing your collages with each other!
