When we step beyond our fears of the unknown, it can be a life-changing experience. You know this – you lived it on your trip with Global Works! Maybe you opened your heart and mind on your trip, and your outlook on life changed as a result. Perhaps you even changed the lives of the people you interacted with, through a service project or a conversation across cultural boundaries.
