Jessica Escobar is a PhD Candidate at the University of
South Carolina where she is studying sustainability of food security policies
in developing countries. 5 months ago she began volunteering with Clean of
Heart on a monthly basis or when substitutes are needed. She says “I think it
is important that we join the works of our Church to bring God’s love to others
and to help others to believe and to seek eternal life.” For Jessica, the most
rewarding part of volunteering is seeing people happy when they are treated
with dignity, enjoying a snack, and getting clean clothes. She also enjoys
sharing the morning work with other volunteers because she can feel God’s
presence with them. Through volunteering with Clean of Heart, Jessica has been
challenged to overcome her own needs and instead be available for God to use
her to love others.
When she isn’t volunteering with Clean of Heart or working
on her studies, Jessica enjoys sports, reading history books and biographies of
the saints, and watching movies. Thanks for all you do Jessica and good luck
with your studies as the new school year begins!
