"Being able to see a refugee camp and going to the Syrian border were paramount events for me. And the little everyday things like walking through the streets and witnessing a win for the football team. I can't put into enough words how thankful and appreciative I am of this experience. It is life-changing and eye-opening." - Kaitlyn Garbe '15
