    “Ironically, I was in a small town in the middle of Mexico and speaking in a foreign language when I found that people really listened to what I had to say and respected my opinions. They saw me as an equal, despite my age and my, at times, shaky Spanish skills.”

    –Melissa Tran, Veteran Volunteer
