Transformative Travel

We all have so much power to heal the world! Helping youth recognize thier power to make a difference in the lives of other, that is why I am so dedicated to these trips! We volunteer for a nonprofit agency called ESNA Village Network (El Salvador/North America). Over the past five years we have built classrooms, built a school kitchen, delivered many ecococinas (efficient, clean and safe stoves), taught math games, read books, built a childcare center, painted murals, mixed concrete, installed solar lighting, taught English, and developed relationships. More than anything, we have learned priceless lessons about ourselves, the world and the healing power of Love. 

The travel cost for these powerful trips is often prohibitive to low-income youth. Last year my mother and my aunt baked thousands of cookies for bake sales so that we could send youth whose parents could not afford to contribute financially to the trip. This year we have 17 travelers, many of them from families living below the poverty line in our community. We have been working hard for several months, but we still need to raise $9,000 so that this group of youth can participate in a experience of learning, growing and effecting change and social justice in our world.
