我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I spent one summer working for a charity in Delhi - India. We taught unprivileged children math and English. I made strong connections with them and with my colleagues who had different nationalities. This was a life-changing experience.

I traveled 4 continents and planning to visit the 5th next year.
