One in six children in Africa dies before the age of five.More than 100 million children are out of school.One-third of the world has no electricity.1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water.One-sixth of the world's population lives on less than one dollar a day.More than twenty million refugees exist today.Many nights I sat awake reading stories and statistics about national and international tragedies. So the question is not how or why I would do this with my life. I honestly believe that if we were all aware, we would all be compelled to act. I am so grateful I took this path in my life, thankful that I met these amazing people and had this incredible experience. I was asked to write an introduction to my journals, to explain how my journals came to be, why my life took this direction, and why I decided to start it.Īs I try to find the answers, I am sure of one thing: I am forever changed.
