Breanna - Volunteer in Public Health Nutrition Program in Tacloban
"Volunteer work is an indescribable fulfillment. I was in the middle of going to school for nursing when I felt I needed to figure out myself before I continued. And what better way to learn about myself by helping others and falling in love with the world. I've learnt an enormous amount here in the Philippines. Life here is simple and extremely beautiful."
