What I Did This Summer:

This summer I traveled to Kenya with the organization Me to We to build a school. I got hands on volunteer experience while interacting with a new culture. Young people everywhere have a right to be free from poverty, thirst, exploitation and disease. I chose to participate in Me to We’s youth volunteer trip because they are an organization that empowers youth to remove barriers that prevents them from achieving their potential. This trip was a great leadership opportunity that allowed me to take action to improve the lives of youth across the world and to go on an unforgettable adventure. I viewed fascinating places, became immersed in a new culture, and developed many friendships. I returned home having gained many experiences and an enhanced knowledge of the world. Working to achieve positive change in the world and having the knowledge of contributing to another person’s life and dreams is the most uplifting and empowering feeling you will ever experience.
