On Monday, five Albert Schweitzer Fellowship recipients completed their Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service with us. They distributed coats, boots, hats, and gloves to our residents. Afterward, they held a powerful discussion about humanitarianism in the 21st century, and how as medical professionals, they can be advocates for marginalized communities and victims of human trafficking.
