Off to the Philippines

My name is Erin Nicole Vedar. From April 13, 2014 - April 22, 2014, I was given an amazing opportunity by Gawad Kalinga to help rebuild houses from the recent typhoon and to tour GK villages. I return again, from February 19-28, for Filgrimage 2016. As I head into my last year as a Psychology major at San Diego State University, I strive to bring the passion and experiences I got to have through going home by getting more involved with the community around me.

Home safe.

We're back and beautifully tanned!

Today, on April 22, our fantastic Team GK-USA arrived back in California. There's a million things I want to write about my final thoughts on this experience and what happens from here, but I really need to sleep. <3 Much love to everyone who's been reading thus far! If you want to hit the share on Facebook button over there, share my story if you think it's worthy!

T-minus "a couple of minutes" until Departure.

Tony Olaes selfie! Us-sie? The first of many group pictures to be taken on this trip. It's been a hectic morning, and the feeling of travel has truly begun to set in. I'm excited, and ready to take on whatever this trip has to offer. In 17 hours, we are going to be in Tokyo, Japan, then, MANILA, PHILIPPINES. I am at a loss for words, and all I want to do is see and listen and feel and take in everything that I can and bring it back to the US, to AB Samahan, to home.

To you reading this, thank you. We're going to go on a great ride. :D
