#191: Classroom to Life (Friday, August 27)

I met some good people this summer. People who have interesting passions and are putting them into action. One of them is Diana Blain. I met her on a night out in Brooklyn at one of those events only Brooklyn can have. She's actually the cousin of a dear friend of mine.

So we got to talking about things we like to do, and I mentioned my love of volunteering and traveling. As luck would have it, she founded a non-profit organization that would allow me to do both things at once: Classroom to Life aims to provide educational travel opportunities to inner city youth 9-13 years old who typically don't have the chance to travel outside of their local communities.

How awesome is that? Check out her site at http://www.classroomtolife.org and if you have wanderlust and love to volunteer, complete an application form while you're there. There's nothing more phenomenal than watching a child discover the world.

Be excellent!
