Additional Information
I was recruited by the church I attended to go to Honduras for three weeks in 2005 to help clean up and build small homes/huts for locals. I, along with a team of 15 went. While down there, we also cooked for the local community and fed the less fortunate. It was probably one of the best things I have ever done in my life and am grateful to have been able to help these families have a home.
