GeoVisions Hero: Diedre Sanchez

Diedre Sanchez giving her host mom an English lesson.When we call you our hero, do you feel like a hero?
I do not consider myself a hero when I compare myself to others that may have acquired a "hero" status, such as great historical figures.  My experience and contribution abroad was intended to spread knowledge.

How do you remind people there is still a lot of work around the world we all need to accomplish?
I remind others of the work we need to accomplish through my own volunteer experiences. I also try to spread the word through email, Facebook, and everyday conversations.

Diedre SanchezWhat one positive impact did your volunteer work have (no matter how large or small) while you were there?
Seeing my host family make gains with the English language was very positive.

Please take a moment to share one "moment" with us that gives you goose bumps, brings a tear, makes you smile, warms your heart from your volunteer experience.
I smile every time I think of all the memories I made with my host family in Spain. Keeping in touch with my host family warms my heart from time to time. It was definitely an unforgettable experience!
