I was one of approximately 100 people that engaged in the process of making life better for others. I spent my time…

relatives, considered this opportunity as a chance and a blessing. Of course, we get to travel and expand our horizon, we get to meet new people and make friends from around the world, we do things we never imagined we would do in Madagascar (like commuting at 1 AM after a night in town lol).
