life to Jesus Christ my Lord and savior. When Dr. Goodman presented this opportunity in class last fall I knew right away that I was going. I decided to venture out and use my skills to serve others. The NGO’s that we collaborated with during this trip did a phenomenal job with having everything organized‚ planned‚ and staffed accordingly to ensure that my colleagues and I had what we needed to compassionately give fully of our selves and skill sets. My colleagues and I all came from different backgrounds

China – Opening Thoughts China surprised me in ways more than one. Going into China‚ I knew that China has come a long ways since the days of Mao when people starved‚ just to keep up to their cultural beliefs. Yet‚ the sheer scale of development and the feeling of being in highly dynamic‚ fast growth‚ “everything is possible” mentality of China was overwhelming. Beijing and Shanghai are obvious examples of what China is hoping to achieve‚ but the development in interior areas like Suzhou and Chengdu

Magellan’s Trip around the World He left Spain in 1519 with five ships (Trinidad‚ the San Antonio‚ the Conception‚ the Victoria and the Santiago) and about 260 men.

Keightley Bertram. I felt so lucky to be included in such a trip‚ adopted for a week by Keightley’s family to celebrate her birthday in style. Such an awesome party it was going to be‚ with an unlimited amount of space‚ people‚ and lack of restrictions. This was definitely going to be a trip to be remembered. That first breath of humid tropical air in the morning a refreshing change from the dry mountain air of home. All the memories of the plane trip and the many wasted classroom hours spent day dreaming

My First Trip Home I am originally from Moldova‚ a country in Eastern Europe. My country was a part of Romania and for a longer period a part of Soviet Union. Since I was seven years old I knew that I would live abroad‚ because all my three older brothers were living in Europe and I got information from them that Europe has many developed countries. Who does not want to live in a developed country? Everyone wants to live in a developed country‚ where people can achieve their dreams‚ and be successful
