The ripple effect is what happens when you come home from a humanitarian service trip. It may be in the way your perspective has changed…. or in the way that you think about volunteering at home. Volunteer travel is almost always transformational in this way and delivers rich dividends well beyond the trip itself. We’d love to hear about your ripple effect, so share your story with us on Facebook.
