Quote

“I am so incredibly blessed to have attended my fourth and last YouthWorks mission trip. This trip was like no other trip I’ve gone on before. I’ve met people and created unbreakable bonds that will last a lifetime. I’m so, so grateful that I have been able to meet all of the beautiful people that I encountered on my journey. Thank you to everyone who has made this trip one to remember.”
