'It’s pretty easy to get passionate about helping when you see living conditions firsthand. I am so thankful that you have the infrastructure already established so it will be easier for those of us who are arriving late to the cause. I have so many images in my head from our trip and I know over time that I will lose most of them, unfortunately. However, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feelings of exhilaration and heartbreak, nor the desire to help make a difference.'
