Why Should You Go?

Why should you go? Why raise the money? Why travel half way around the world? Why put yourself outside of your comfort zone?

When we sit and think about it, a lot of times, there are more reasons not go than there are to go. A lot of people wonder, wouldn’t it be more helpful if I just sent money over to these places than use the money to get myself there?  We had an honest sit down conversation with a Leadership Council in one of our Kenyan communities on why it is impactful to have teams come and visit them throughout their journey of development.

This is why you should go… It’s so much bigger than we will ever know.
