There you were, saving baby turtles in Greece…or hammering nails into a new Uruguayan schoolhouse…or lining up children for polio vaccinations in Delhi.
Something in that moment grabbed you. Humbled you. Suddenly you realized…here you are…and you’re part of a bigger picture, a greater whole.
In that moment you knew you weren’t just visiting.
You were giving a deep part of yourself, connecting with a world far, far away…yet in that moment, so close to you.
