That you can do so much even with limited resources. That feeling satisfied has nothing to do with wealth. That with a little attention and care you can greatly improve the life of a child. That children do not condemn, they simply accept. That people grow when they build trust. The importance of helping a child build self-esteem and self-confidence.

It taught me you can do so much if you work together. That a common goal forms an powerful bond. That family has little to do with genes and a lot to do with listening, compassion, attention and love. That you can communicate without speaking the same language. That home is not a place, but a feeling you carry with you in your heart.
And most importantly, it taught me that true wealth in life comes from the smile of a child!

Its been almost three weeks since I left Korando and there is no day I don’t remember the kids, friends and the best experience I had this last months. Every time I see pictures, videos or every time a friend or family member ask me about the experience, a big smile...
I knew from the moment I came across Better Me on Facebook that I wanted to volunteer with them at Korando. Halfway through 2016, I made the decision that I was going to quit my job, sell my house, car, and belongings, and travel around the world. I knew that I...
