El Salvador Trip: 'Many were afraid of the big, black box that I had around my neck…'

SportsShooter:

Months after my trip to El Salvador with Give a Kid a Backpack Foundation, images still keep me awake at night.

I can’t get rid of the passionate embrace those kids gave me on the last day. I can still feel the tight hugs they gave me as they uttered “Thank you” over and over again.

They didn’t let me go then and I know that I still haven’t let go of them.
