Hi, My name is Natalie and I am a freshman at Rancho High School. I enjoy being in the outdoors and playing sports. I am currently enrolled in a program called Upward Bound. It helps low income, excelling high school students get into a four year college. In the summer of 2016 we went to the SF food bank and helped package food for less fortunate.
I have attended Hessel church in Sebastopol for many years. Our youth group does many events like giving back and helping the homeless. I think giving back to the community is a very important and a gratifying experience, even for me as a young teen.
I am excited about the GSE trip and am looking forward to seeing Ecuador and helping restore their community and rebuild greenhouses and plant trees.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal so I can go on this amazing adventure.
