One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While travelling in South Africa, I attended a very sad funeral where a family had been killed by lightning. The whole village was invited and as sad as it was, the people made you feel so good.

I volunteered in Guatamala at an orphanage in the jungle but when my project was not working out, an American couple I met there
came to my rescue, flew me out of the jungle and invited me to stay with them. They wanted nothing from me but they changed my life forever.
