Where it all began.

Ever since I was old enough to talk I have always loved the idea of discovering new things and places. My first ever adventure in terms of travelling was a real eye opener and I will remember it for the rest of my life. In early March of 2018, I was given the lifetime opportunity to travel to Washington DC and embark on for what I can only describe as a once in a lifetime experience. 

The program that I was involved with was based around the ever growing poverty and homelessness that ripples through America each year. Throughout the ten days, I was engaging with a range of different individuals from young to old to listen and understand their stories about how they feel into a live of poverty. 

As a group we worked throughout many of Americas famous homelessness programs like DC Central kitchen. We prepared and cook hundreds of meals and snacks for people who travelled from all over the country to just have a warm cooked meal. Being able to interact with each individual was so overwhelming hearing the different stories and the extreme lengths that everyone had came to in order to get some food or find somewhere to sleep for the night. Its safe to say there were lots of tears shred on the first few days, and a lot of us as individuals began to realize how lucky we all were.
