Once in a lifetime experience

This trip was such an amazing opportunity that I had such a great time on. I flew and stayed in Juan Dolió, Dominican Republic with 20 other students from the Chicago area and our two leaders. We spent some days learning about different problems the communities were facing and how current organizations are helping before working to help build and floor some houses in one of the villages. It was a no phones trip (once we got to the DR), but I’m so glad it was because I got so close with so many of the other students on the trip. The organization (Global Glimpse) is also amazing with helping to make the experience so affordable for everyone through financial aid and even helped us get passports if we needed them.
