One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are many things! But I had one particular experience when I was in Boston, MA, USA in 2006. I went to a home for less fortunate people (mainly the homeless and the poor) and I helped serving food for the people. This was a very moving experience for me. It is something I will always remember!
