The Giving Trip

In early January 2007, I boarded an early morning flight from Minneapolis making my way to Ayacucho, Peru. While boarding the flight to the Andean city, a woman asked in broken English where I was going. I told her I was serving as an international volunteer in Ayacucho. She said, “It’s very poor there.” That is precisely why I chose to spend two weeks working with orphans in Ayacucho and it was a trip that changed my life forever.
Thank you for this post. It is a great reminder to help those in need.

Great post. I also have been to another country and have seen the poorest of poor, and my heart went out to them right out of my chest. I could do absolutely nothing to help. The country I speak of is the Philippines.
