I’ll kick it off: Lesotho group 80 (Community Health and Economic Development) from 2013-2015

  • Some of the grassroots projects I started in my village are still functioning today. By that metric it was certainly successful.
  • I didn’t even know what Lesotho was when I got my invite. Needless to say, it’s an absolutely beautiful part of the world and I consider it a 2nd home now.
  • Almost daily. I have two very close friends and we keep in touch on Whatsapp. I also returned in 2019 for a vacation/reunion and plan to do so every 5 years.
