Amanda's Message

After two amazing trips to Honduras, I truly feel that a piece of me will always be there. It is an experience like no other and I cannot wait for yet another adventure!

Global Brigades is a great organization, doing great things in just the 10 years they have existed. I am excited to be a part of the holistic model they provide in order to improve communities across Honduras.

Thank you for visiting my site! I am happy to accept any donation you would like to give. Please contact me with questions!
