JT OperationSmile ISLC trip

ISLC 2017

As most of you know I was born with a bi-lateral cleft lip and palate. I was lucky my mom and dad had the resources to get it fixed when I was a baby. In an effort to help those kids that are not so lucky I am participating in the Operation Smile International Student Leadership Conference between July 17-24, 2017.

This conference has had more than 500 students from 30 different countries attend and I will be one of those students in 2017! I will spend a week getting to know others who share the same passion for service and volunteerism while gaining better leadership skills to help serve those around me.
