One of my favorite memories of the trip was the feeling of satisfaction when we finished our jobs helping out at the local school. It felt so nice to make a difference in a community that really needed it. I hope that what we did will make an impact on those kids.

What made this experience unique was the ability to truly be immersed in local life and interact with the children. I felt as though I was truly part of the community, and I am honored to have that experience.

This trip built my curiosity because it showed me the beauty of all the little moments and that times are so much more impactful when you don’t have your phone.
