So very noblesse oblige of Amy! What a role model for the other overprivileged children of the mid-peninsula.

Thanks for writing this, Amy!
I want to take my daughter, Hua Wen, on a volunteer "vacation" and it helps to hear from someone her own age!
Also as a mom, it makes me feel she will be safe.
Thanks again,
Pat

I also volunteered at PPA Summer 2008. It was a fantastic and rewarding experience through Global Volunteers. I am a middle school teacher and am preparing for my volunteer trip with my family to South Africa.

Such a well-written and thoughtful memo. You have all the makings of becoming a very well-known writer!

This might just be the single best piece of writing I have ever read. This and the Harry Potter series
