I have really enjoyed the workshops that I have attended with GP. I will not be able to travel summer 2011 with GP but I learned a lot of essentials for traveling and tips that could help me in general. Hopefully I will travel summer of 2012! Since I became a member of GP I was very fortunate to meet a group of really nice and friendly people and they really helped me to feel welcomed and feel as thought I am apart of this family. I really like how focused,motivated, and eager everyone seems and how much they would love to travel in order to make a difference in the communities that they will be staying in. Sometimes opportunities like this come once in a lifetime so you always want to make sure you leave a lasting impression that the locals of the communities will remember you for whether it was your hard work, determination or even your humorous personality. I hope next year I will have the opportunity to do this not only for remembrance but also to know that I gave back to another community and I helped to make a difference.
