"It's difficult to explain why a father of seven would spend two weeks of vacation time, several thousand dollars, and travel thousands of miles into the Romanian countryside to push a kid on a swing. You could do that at home! Once you've done it, though, you know why. I've touched many lives, and many others have touched mine, and we've made the world a smaller place. I've worked elbow to elbow with local Romanians on something important to them, and they are now my friends and I have a place there. I've learned and I've served. It's what Global Volunteers calls waging peace. Our team followed 31 previous teams, and another will follow us in a week. The children of Tutova will be loved. That is all they asked of us."
