My ILP is with The Gift of Life donor program. So far, I love it. It offers a nice contrast from the classroom environment. In the past few weeks, I’ve toured the building, met most of the employees (even the CEO!), and worked on many small projects. These include creating educational packets and making centerpieces for donor recognition dinners.

I initially picked this site because I wanted to participate in something meaningful. Although it is not the most talked about, organ donation is a great way to save lives. I didn’t know that much about it, besides the fact that my mom was a registered organ donor, before I started. During my first three visits, Faith (my mentor) has taught me almost all I need to know.
