"My experience was more than I ever expected it could be. I met people who are now my best friends. Living in Nepal helped me to find myself and discover who I want to be back in America. My life has changed because of the students I met and the teachers I met.The students and the teachers treated me as family and made me feel like I was home."
--Carie Schramm, Volunteer, Nepal 2010
