I survived my midterms, and my reward is a volunteer trip as part of Fordham’s Global Outreach Dominican Republic team. Remember when I went to San Diego for spring break two years ago? Well it was such an amazing experience, I needed to GO! again. For more on the Joan Rose Foundation, the non-profit eight of us will be volunteering with, watch the video below:
I hope everyone is having a great March, and I hope you’ll consider donating to Joan Rose.
