Joyful Occasion
Jessica Davey (’95), who as a student started the
City of Joy Scholars program, returned to Wake
Forest on Homecoming Weekend to observe the
program’s tenth anniversary. Each year students
travel to Calcutta, India, to work with Mother
Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity, providing basic
care to the “poorest of the poor.” Davey, who works
with U.S. AID, a federal international development
agency in Kabul, Afghanistan, spoke about her dream
and how it came to fruition. In a talk sponsored
by the Pro Humanitate Center, she discussed the
concept of vocation and how individuals come to
understand their unique contributions to the world.
