"I've learned to live, really live in the moment and enjoy the small things that I used to miss. I've learned that poor is not poor and rich is not rich. I've learned that young adults thrive when in a supportive non-judging society. I've learned that when you reach out, others will reach in.I've learned that you can form the strongest bonds in a short time and I've learned that even the smallest act of compassion can change a life. After what I felt was a short visit, my heart longs to sit with the people of the DR and it will again so that I may visit the piece of my heart that was left there for safekeeping." - Gina Drohan
