You know what's awesome??

THIS. is awesome.
So the secretary at my work told me about this cause she was involved with this in college.
Basically what it is is you go to a third-world country for two weeks over the summer and volunteer doing whatever the people there need you to do!
Part of the cost is paid by a sponsor, and the other part... This is the exciting part :]
You spend the whole school year doing service and once you reach a certain amount of hours, that pays for your portion of the trip :]

I. AM SO.. EXCITED. :D
