“I think about the [orphanage] a lot…to play with them and bond, and I thought that is really cool and it will stay with me forever. I want to go do Doctors Without Borders now.”

“The orphanage stands out. Actually, working with the guys that do the construction work. Even though there was a language barrier we worked together. Getting dirty and actually breaking ground in Africa and being able to build a school. I will never forget that.”

“The ecology was the thing that stood out the most for me, was being able to be at the overlook on the Ngorongoro Crater and just being able to see all the vast landscape and mammals and everywhere you looked there were elephants, ostriches, and just being on top of the crater was breathtaking. The wildlife was beyond what I ever could have imagined…reading about it is one thing, but actually experiencing it, WOW!”

“At the orphanage, we placed the [mosquito] nets, the little boy was following me and so I was like we put bed nets on in your room and he was ‘oh my gosh!’ He was so excited he took my hand and smiled.”
