I am very happy to announce that in the summer of 2016 I will be embarking on yet another journey with Children’s Global Alliance. This time, the team will be volunteering at the Deeya Shree School in Bhaktapur, Nepal, where we will be working hands on and helping repair damage caused by the earthquakes in 2015.
So far, I have traveled to Cambodia, Nicaragua and Tanzania. On the trips, I have learned more about myself than I have throughout my whole life. I’ve gained a lot of perspective and I’ve learned many different skills and lessons. CGA has become a very big part of my life, but aside from being committed to this organization; my hobbies include skiing, performing, stage managing school productions, cooking, baking, and spending time with my family. I feel very fortunate that they have been there and have supported me every step of the way.
Throughout the years I have come to realize that words don’t do these trips justice, but this is where I attempt to explain what goes through my head before, during, and after. The experiences are indescribable, and that’s one of the things I like about volunteering. The children I’ve had the pleasure to meet thus far have flipped my world upside down completely. Each and everyone one of them occupy a very special place in my heart. I am very excited to meet the people and get a taste of the culture in Nepal. I can’t wait to see what it has in store for us!
