"The change was completely involuntary, silent, and stealthy, which is why I didn't even notice that I returned wearing a new light coat made of pure peaceful patience. It had formed over the five weeks from listening and learning and understanding the stories of each individual person I met in India. I have returned, carrying them with me, forever changed."

"Traveling abroad and being involved in a humanitarian relief mission stands out and distinguishes an applicant (for medical school). Further, these experiences have helped me to grow as an individual."

"The Summer Volunteer Program was one of the best experiences of my life. I traveled throughout India to more places than even my parents, who were raised there, had ever seen. The best part of the trip was being able to see where our financial contribution goes to work and the extent of just how many people are benefiting from our simple charity."
