My Nonprofit Reviews

My experience was as both a Donor and a Volunteer with buildOn. In January 2013 I was part of the Groupon trek to Nepal. I can easily say it was the greatest experience of my life. It was absolutely amazing to be part of something that will make a difference and make an improvement in the lives of so many others. To say I have been humbled by the experience would be an understatement. One of the greatest parts of the trek was living with the villagers and learning about their culture and way of life. They were so excited that we were there and took great pride in showing us their village. We had some hilarious moments sitting around the fire with our host families trying to communicate! This trip helped me realize that a few things are universal no matter what language you speak or what country you live in: every parent wants their child to have a good education and a smile is always contagious. I hope to be able to do another buildOn trek soon!
