"I've learned how essential sustainable agricultrue is to poor rural communities. I've learned how complicated it can be to help as an outsider, but also good strategies to do so. I have so many stories from this trip, each a rich experience that has impacted my life in countless ways."
— Aaron, Christianson Grant Recipient, Guatemala

"I discovered that many of the challenges I face in my work are similar to the challenges facing Costa Ricans. Though we are far apart, we are all working to curb community violence, increase community involvement and raise happy and productive future generations."
— Michelle, Working Abroad Grant Recipient, Costa Rica
