Why are you involved?
As part of a focus on our dedicated volunteers, we've been asking them each, "Why are you involved with Propapa?"
Every year or two I take a group of high school seniors to Urraco to build a home for a family. My greatest joy is watching these privileged Americans defy all teen stereotypes and immerse themselves fully in selfless acts of giving. They spend every available moment with the local children, work hard in the sun and heat, and adapt to every change of food, environment, culture, housing, and circumstance with acceptance and generosity. They always tell me how the trip changes their life. Mine too. Every time.
