Passionate About:

These words are from my heart: Like a ship in the bluest of oceans, let us expand our sails, let the winds of courage lead us on a path that is inspiring, filled with joy and endless sunshine. Let us share a smile together. I hope that you feel encouraged by the most unconventional encounters with compassionate people, for those moments make the journey that much more exhilarating.

I hope to be a force that can help others, this is not about me, but rather those that I hope to help, those that I hope to share a smile with. This Journey that I have started, is the first step of many.In everything that I do, I do it out of LOVE... "And so the journey begins" :)

Our mission is to empower volunteers and under-resourced communities to resolve global health and economic disparities and inspire all involved to collaboratively work towards an equal world. Since 2005, more than 30,000 volunteers from 800 university groups have traveled to implement our nine skill-based programs to benefit more than 600,000 community members in Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Ghana.
