I am a member of United by Friendship (UbF), a small, volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to strengthening communities in Central America through partnerships focused on water, education, health, and economic development.

UbF works directly with local communities to identify their needs and determine which projects can have the greatest impact. It is a remarkable organization doing meaningful, lasting work.
