My name is Chizette Kremer, and just this year I have been given the extraordinary opportunity to be a member of Global Community Engagement, an incredible organization that travels each spring break to the Dominican Republic to help children in need. My best friend went on the trip last year, and it was his inspiring stories about making a true difference, (whether it be teaching, providing the kids with food and clothes, or even just making friends) that made me realize what an important thing volunteer service is, and how easy it is to reach out and profoundly change the life of a homeless, hungry child.
