Joe says “I think the reason that I got into the Global Potential program is because first I’m qualified and second I’m lucky. I’m very excited about the DR trip, because I think this trip is going to change my whole life, It may change the way I think, and things that are of value to me. Also to live in a poor condition will be a very difficult challenge, and to live in this condition I will become more independent and more mature.”
