"My Life Changed Completely Within An Hour And A Half..."-Trip Reflections: Summer 2015
My life changed completely within an hour and a half when I asked this child if I could help him carry his water to his house. I found myself alone with this little human walking through the most rural community. Words cannot even explain what I experienced walking a few miles in this child's shoes. All I could do was cry and pray for these beautiful people. I know I didn't change his life by helping him carry two jugs of water but he sure changed mine. #DominicanRepublic #Se

• Blood pressure and blood sugar tests on over 97 patients
