i really liked the presentation that Colleen presented us. it was really different and very interesting to hear her prespective on a different country and the way they live. i thought it was really interesting that she really wanted to be part of this volunteer program and help the kids and the natives of tanzinia that are in need. she didn't put herself in front of others peoples need, she thought about them and the way they live and how they have less opportunities than we live in america.
the way many people live in the u.s. we take for granted. all we think about is "me, me, me" we have to think about other people who are less fortunate than us.
i'm happy for her that she decided to take this opportunity to help the natives of tanzinia, that was very thoughtful of her. in the future i really hope i get a opportunity like this to help other people in need of a better life. i understand that the opportunity would be challenging to get through to experience a different way to live, but sometimes you have to see the prespective in other peoples eyes.

I really liked the presentation too! I thought that it was really cool that she was able to impact so many lives in a short amount of time.
