As a person committed to both volunteering and in alleviating the plight of people in poverty, I hope to help others through works abroad. As a Berkeley student who is a member of numerous organizations, including UC Berkeley Rotaract, I've always tried to perform services in my community. Having the opportunity to extend my abilities through the Global Brigades would be incredible. I would like to thank the generosity of contributors to my cause, including my hometown Rotary: Tujunga-Sunland-Shadow Hills #720, District 5280.
