[QUOTE="Arn, post: 18677, member: 2487"] Nathanael, You are already doing your while "ON the Camino" Here's my suggestion, propose to your university that while on the Way, you will "help those that need it, speak with those that want it and assists those with a desire for a vocation to find the Way". Here's my thinking: There are plenty of folks that will find an institution, hospital or other program to do their 250 hours. They will: get to the location, see a few folks..then break for lunch...then in the afternoon...see a few folks and they're outta there at 5pm. In most cases, their service covers a five day work week. Over a two month period (60 days), they will meet the 250 hour requirement. In the evenings, their life will most likely revert to "normal"...they can get away from the "service" mode and relax and recharge their batteries. Now you, on the other hand, will be walking with folks in company, you will share their stories, you will sleep where they sleep, you will cook and eat what they eat, and at some monastery's/chapels you can serve the local priest with his daily chores, or service ...but more importantly, you will be among your fellow peregrinos 24/7. When it becomes obvious to your fellow peregrinos that you are "approachable" you will have more to do than all your fellows at university that choose a more traditional way to satisfy their 250 hours of service. Taking in consideration that you must sleep, sometime, on the outside you will be "serving" (over a 30 day Camino) approx. 540 hours of service in DIRECT contact. Now, I'm considered a hard ass when it comes to successful completion of the mission and, even I can see the benefit and accept the Way as your service. Give it a go...if they say no, what have you lost...nothing. And you will be with us, your fellow peregrinos along the Milky Way. Buen Camino and best of luck! Arn [/QUOTE]
