After 27 trips the project seems to have died. Covid-19 cancelled it for two years and then the University was unable to continue providing insurance for the trip and the group could not travel through Drew without it.
Some amazing students have led and participated in this project and it has been an honor to share this experience with them. We have been invited to work with some inspiring organizations and gracious community partners. Most of all, we will never forget the children we met and the people who welcomed us to their countries. We are richer for these experiences and carry them with us always.
