Humanitarian
In 1977 I took my first volunteer trip to Korea for Americans for International Aid. On that visit, I escorted back to the US orphans adopted by Americans. Since then I've escorted over a hundred children from India, Korea, Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Afghanistan. There were many more trips to bring back refugees, to take things to refugees, and to stay put and work on a vaccination team in the Himalayas. The trips continue and a short list of highlights follows: International Currently I am an active volunteer for several organizations.
