"When I initially signed up for the trip to Guatemala over spring break I simply thought I would be doing some volunteer work with some of my peers. I had no idea how life-changing the week would be, although many students who had previously gone had told me it would be. The country had not only breath-taking views of vast lakes and greenery, but also a people rich in kindness and cultural traditions. I bonded very quickly with the other Cornell students as we all learned about a region that is so spiritually wealthy regardless of its economic status. I hope to return to the beautiful country and continue the work which the mission there promotes in order to help the local people and to learn from them how to improve myself and the world around."
