Here We Go Again!

For those of you who don’t know, my name is Evan Wetzel and I am in ninth grade at Eagle Valley High School. This summer I have been given the chance to travel with Children’s Global Alliance for a second time. I will be traveling to Cambodia! I couldn’t be any more excited because I know how amazing these trips are and I know it will change my life yet again.   
In Cambodia we will be working at a school and orphanage where we will improve the living conditions for the kids and also teach them in the school.  Previous trips that have gone to this school have built dormitories for both the girls and the boys, as well as a garden for them to eat and produce crops from easier.  I can’t wait to have my heart touched by all of these children once again and gain a new perspective on the world.  I know this is such an amazing opportunity and I am so excited to get this chance.     
This trip, in comparison to Tanzania will be much harder physically as we will be picking up trash and building many things during the trip.  I know the main reason Tanzania changed my life was the people I met while I was there.  In Cambodia there will be so many more amazing people that I will have the pleasure of meeting, and I hope that I will impact their lives the way they have impacted mine.
I am scared that during this trip I will not be able to change their lives and I will be just another member of the CGA family.  I hope that I will have a lasting impact on these people and their lives, because I know they will definitely do the same for me.
In order to travel to Cambodia I have to raise $2,200.  I will do this anyway I can, but if you would like to donate please feel free to contact me.
