Andrea Carlson

Hello,
I am Andrea Carlson. I just finished my freshmen year a Memorial High School. I was part of the No-go-Honduras team last year. It was a great disapointment to find out after all our planning that the trip had been cancelled. I believe the trip being cancelled last year made me even more pumped for the trip this year. The AMAZING team this year is more then ready to go and reach out to Honduras in every way we can. I know we will be moved greatly and have tons of fun in the process. I was also part of the Middle School Honduras team in 2008. When we went down we were supposed to do two camps, one for younger kids and one for older kids, but unfortunately not enough people signed up so we put the camps together, giving us a few days with nothing planned. So the first day we repelled down a water fall, wich was a great team building event. Then the second day we went to an orphanage, which was a very moving experience. The kids there were super polite and giving. After that we finally got to do the camp. I was put in a cabin with all Hondurans and it was a challenge trying to communicate and get to know my cabin at first but by the end I had made some really great friends and learned TONS of spanish. I am super excited to see what will happen with all our plans this year, and I am hoping that our team will help others grow in their faiths and that our faith will grow as well.
Thank you for your support!
