One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I went to India wih a voluntaring program. There, I worked as a nurse for one month and the next month I was the teacher of 20 amazing Indian girls. I think it was an incredible experience where I saw another reality, because I lived with local people. I realised that even though they had "nothing", they offered me everything, and their smiles were very touching. Awesome.
