Rasmussen continues, "I think it increases their world view and makes them more tolerant of the diversity of people.

We finished off our trip in Venice. I loved feeling that I was able to get to know each area we stayed instead of just passing through for a day, like so many tours do. We had a lot of time to just explore." Ruesch said, "When the end of the four weeks rolled around, I was very sad that I had to leave because of the great things I had experienced.

When asked about a good experience she has had with this program, tears quickly begin to form in the corners of her eyes. After gathering her thoughts, she relayed-the following experience. "About two months ago, I got to meet a family who had a 5-yearold boy that was able to use the money our organization raised. His mom told me how he had no friends and all the other children in their neighborhood would make fun of him.
