ASB Honduras 2013

I am so excited to be embarking on my third trip with Central American Relief Efforts (CARE) to Honduras! This time will be very different, just by the simple fact that this is an ASB trip, which creates an atmosphere all its own. Besides the amazing work our team is about to do in Honduras, I am really looking forward to the relationships my teammates are about to build with one another and watching the special bonds form from this once in a lifetime circumstance that only an ASB experience can foster.I am thrilled to see how this group of people can open my eyes to new things that I have not yet uncovered during my past trips to Honduras and help educate me to new levels. I am also hopeful that they will find the same beauty I have found.

I am so eager to see the difference we can make during our time in Honduras and what impact we can make upon our return.

Round #2

So this trip to Washington D.C. is about to be my second ASB experience. I had the most amazing time in Nicaragua last January with ASB so I’m wondering if it is even possible to top that. However, this trip will be a reality check, unlike the paradise and tropical weather of Central America. Hunger and homelessness are social issues that require one to get down and dirty. It directly affects people in ways that you can touch, and I’m hoping that this experience will allow me to tangibly grasp the way many people live.

I’m heading into the trip very congested and feeling a little sick, but nonetheless excited! I always welcome an opportunity to have my eyes opened.
