Participant from Boston University

You’ve been given the opportunity to fly across the world, to bond with warm and intelligent students, and have the experience of seeing how communities (and individuals within them) recover and grow from natural disasters. I met friends I plan to stay in touch with, learn from, and see again throughout the rest of my life. I developed a love for Japan and its the amazing communities I would’ve never discovered. If you are in the right place physically and mentally, I would say you should absolutely take the risk and go- I couldn’t be more happy that I did.
