My favorite part was when I got to see the completed projects and the smiles in the community members’ faces, because I felt like I was part of a big change in those people’s lives. 

Jae Lee, Nicaragua Participant

It was a very influential experience. It made me become stronger, more determined and more adaptive.

Calvin Yin, Nicaragua Participant

I would tell future participants to immerse yourself fully in culture. View the work through open eyes. Don’t be afraid to get dirty!
