Life changing experience! I was part  of two venture trips, one in spring trip 08 and the other one in summer trip 09. The trip give me a new perspective on life and help me appreciate the smaller things that we take for granted on a day to day basis. Thanks to the Founder Katie Godkin, SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) have the chance to go to this trips and learn a lot about the value of life, how hard we need to work to achieve our goals and how good it feels after you have given everything you could. BRP its about love and community and group collaboration. It was amazing to have the opportunity to actually make a real life difference in the world. To see the families and the kids with such a huge smiles because of my team and me was priceless. This has been one of a kind experience. I left part of my heart in the Dominican Republic, but I hope someday i will go back to give a little more of it.
