My Travel Story

Hello, my name is Katlin Gonzalez. I am a 19 year old college student studying political science. My end goal is to become a Senator for the state of Texas. As an underprivileged kid growing up was a struggle, I was homeless, hungry, and abused. My mission in life is to help as many children and adults as I can recover from their traumas and help them create a better life for themselves and others. Helping the orphaned kids of Zimbabwe understand that they are loved and can do anything they set their mind to, and overcome any struggles in their way. I chose Zimbabwe because these kids are no where near as lucky as we are living in a 3rd world country. To have an impact on their lives and show them that people will be here to help them achieve goals and give back to their community would be amazing. I would love to come back home, and share my experiences so that way others can volunteer around the world as well.
