This past Spring Break while many of us relaxed, traveled, and spent time with sisters, Alex Bretz, Natalie Alexander, and Kayla Scott chose to spend their spring breaks giving back to those less fortunate on service trips! Alex traveled to Cusco, Peru and Natalie and Kayla traveled to El Salvador.
Alex is a member of Medlife at FSU and throughout the year was able to raise $1,000 to go on her trip to Cusco, Peru. This funded primary medical services as there are many in Cusco who lack access to quality health care. For three days, she got the chance to help run the mobile clinics and shadow physicians. In addition, Medlife also has a Healthy Homes project and Alex was able to help out with this by installing new stoves and refurbishing rooms in a community of need. On the last day of her trip, Alex even got to visit Machu Picchu!
Natalie and Kayla traveled to El Salvador on a mission trip where they were able to share their faith and make a difference in the community. They worked with an organization called Filters of Hope to install water filters around the community. Around 98% of the water is contaminated so these filters will really make a positive difference in these peoples lives! During this time they were also able to share their faith with many locals! On the last day of the trip, they even got to hike a volcano!
We are so proud of Alex, Natalie and Kayla for spending their spring breaks helping those less fortunate and are so glad they had successful and safe trips!
