One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently helped organize a volunteer trip to a small local school in rural Thailand. We raised $5k to re-paint the school and buy school supplies and a new playground set. The best part was teaching and playing with the children, ages 3-13. We were the first foreigners they and most of the community had met and to be able to make them so happy was an amazing experience.
