Mission trip in Tanzania
While I was at Auburn as a student I was very involved with the Auburn Wesley Foundation (a Methodist Campus Ministry). As a senior with the Wesley Foundation, I went on a mission trip to Tanzania, Africa to build houses with Habitat for Humanity. Since our entire team was Auburn students we wore t-shirts, brought hats, and other apparel so people would know where we were from. One afternoon we went for ice cream and saw a local with an orange Auburn t-shirt on! We immediately yelled, “War Eagle!” and he gave us a really funny look. We befriended him and told him what his t-shirt meant to us - he didn’t know where it came from and he had never heard of Auburn. We made a new friend and as he left he yelled back to us “War Eagle!” Even people in Tanzania, Africa know who Auburn is!
War Eagle!
