Getting Close/Eric Campbell!

Editors note: We are so close to are goal with only a few short weeks to go.  We are still about $2,000 short.  If you gave, we urge you to give again.  This will truly make a huge difference.

What this trip means to me.

     I often encounter this question on why we do these philanthropic ventures. I have often received various amounts of feedback ranging from a desire to impress someone, to answering a call that was made. I will let the psychologist and philosophers delve into the depth of the how’s and why’s we unconsciously decide to help those in need. My answer to this query is simple: it needs to be done.

Looking back on my own accomplishments I’ve had so far, I can attribute a majority of them to those who stood up and helped me when I needed it. Not to say it could not have been done on my own, but when someone gets to a wall that is just a bit too big to get over, the little bit of help makes the difference.

     Now I understand that this project will not be the end all to the problems that are out there in the Dominican Republic; however, I do sincerely believe that if what we do here has the potential to help someone, then the answer to whether we should do this or not is simple.

Lets do this.
