What an Unreal Experience

This trip was so unreal. I couldn't believe I was really there in that remote location. I was very surprised at how grateful all of the villagers were and how willing they were to be involved and take ownership of their new library. I felt like I was giving so little and yet they treated it like one of the most amazing events of their life. The organization makes it a big point to impact generations instead of a couple people for a couple years. I really like that. They make sure that the villagers are very involved and work a lot with us which is special to get to know them but also so that they truly appreciate it. Over all the trip was very authentic. We got to participate in their lives and culture. . . .
