Before my boys were born I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Kenya and Ecuador with Me to We working in communities they were involved in developing educational, environmental and health projects. \u00a0I was absolutely captivated by Me to We and the impact they were having on the daily lives of the people they were working with. I loved that the community was as much involved with the work as the foreign volunteers and that Me to We employed local people to supervise, build and contribute to any projects. \u00a0My work in Kenya in Ecuador building schools changed me. It made me think about water usage, the right to education, and how the people I met with so very little were so very happy.<\/p>\n
