Mission+Statement

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill

Somewhere on Earth, a living thing is suffering: a young child in Africa who is malnourished and illiterate, or a tree in South America. We, a group of students from St. Louis, Missouri, and our experienced leader will not allow the problems of today's world to become standard. Geographical luck has given us countless opportunities of education and upbringing, but we are aware of the responsibility these privileges entail. Too many people don't have what we have. Too much of the environment is falling apart. If we don't use the skills and experiences we've gained to fix our own world, then what can we possibly do with them? The world around us is not perfect but we want to address its flaws. We've had enough of just knowing about these problems; we want to do something. Research, travel, communication, initiative, time... what will it take? The answer to that question is exactly what we plan to give.
