Trash Mountain.


Trash Mountain is a not-for-profit organization that is doing amazing things. To see a video explaining more about the organization, you can go here. This video focuses on their project in the Dominican Republic.There are many poverty stricken areas around the world that are built around trash dumps. The community actually attempts to live off of these heaps. Searching for food, clothing, and other means of survival, they are exposed to many dangerous chemicals, disease, and unsanitary products. Trash Mountain has built a school, provided medical assistance, and has a constant presence in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Cambodia. There are many opportunities to not only serve with Trash Mountain, but there are many other ways to help as well. Donating to this organization helps with the constant healthcare and education they are providing to these people. You can also donate trip participants. This enables people who feel a calling into this type of service to be able to go and help. This project is especially dear to my heart because I am lucky enough to work with them from May 14-21. If you are at all interested, you can support me, looking into going on a trip yourself, or support the organization as a whole. Support can be financially, but it can also be through prayer and encouragement. Even short term trips can be extremely eye opening and life changing.


If you are at all interested in supporting me financially or through prayer, let me know so I can update you on the different things I experience while I am there.

To support financially, go to www.trashmountain.com and click on the donate tab. There is an option to support a trip participant. You can enter Kelsey Warren, or if you know of any other participants, I would encourage you to support them. This is an incredible opportunity and I am so blessed.

I can't wait to show you so many other causes and organizations I have found that you can possibly find your passion with. There are so many ways to make a difference, and if this organization doesn't tug at your heart like it does mine, I hope to post about one in the future that does.
