Metanoia /ˌmedəˈnoiə/: change in one's way of life resulting from penitence or spiritual conversion.
Metanoia Women's Shelter takes in victims of human trafficking and helps rehabilitate them. This community service project was led by myself as the coordinator of community service, along with participation from four student volunteers to help the religious sisters of the home build an herb garden. As a contribution from all of our members, we collected funds to donate for women's products, clothes, and gardening supplies.
