Intro Paragraph

Something that I have yet to experience in my lifetime is traveling outside of the USA. Recently I have been given the opportunity to do just that and more when I signed up for a trip abroad to Tanzania with a nonsectarian volunteer group called GIVE. On the trip I will be joining fellow college student volunteers from around the globe in building self-sustainable structures with the natives, along with helping them learn English. Currently I am a part of a FSU GIVE Facebook group because there is not an official club on campus yet. Through that group I was able to connect with Emily Orstad, a FSU senior who has been on three different trips abroad with the group and is going on her fourth soon. However, a question that I wanted to answer before going was how it came to be that the GIVE community ended up in Tanzania? Are they asked to come and assist, or have they been imposing themselves upon the natives?
