My Travel Story

by: Sophia Pucciariello Start Date: Mar 24, 2023 - End Date: Jul 23, 2023
Giving back to communities, no matter how rich or poor, is always one of the most rewarding feelings. I have always loved helping others whether its training co-workers, teaching little sister how to accomplish things, or tutoring in a variety of math classes in college. I have also been volunteering with animal rescue centers since I was 10 years old and absolutely love the joy on the faces of all those animals. In this sense, animals and kids have a lot in common. They both need a lot of attention, care, and love and many are often left without one of those. By going abroad for 3 weeks I get to show these kids more joy, creativity, compassion and love for new people, new cultures and travel. I only hope that one day they grow up with high ambitions and live their life in the happiest way and just the thought of being apart of their journey brings me great joy.
