नमस्ते Namaste! Hi!
My entire life I have had a somewhat odd and indescribable connection to India. Maybe it's because the food and culture are appealing, but I know I am meant do work and service there. I have a love for India and the people. I'm at UVSC (Utah Valley State College) majoring in Behavioral Science, with an emphasis on Social Work. With a desire to serve in India, I was told about a volunteer program with Rising Star Outreach (RSO), to help me towards my educational goals.

After traveling to Guatemala 4 days before I graduated high school in 2005 with my father, I vowed never to forget the lessons that I learned there and the hardship that I witnessed. To continue to help the extremely poverty-stricken regions of Eastern Guatemala, my dad and I decided to throw an annual benefit concert in our backyard, with all of the proceeds going to Outreach for World Hope, the local charity that we traveled with that does humanitarian aid work in Guatemala. They have a child sponsorship, health center, and agricultural program in the Jocotan region of Guatemala.
