Humanitarian Work in Amman, Jordan

This past summer (2023) I had the opportunity to on a humanitarian trip with HXP to Amman, Jordan. Here I worked with refugee children who were forced out of their homes. During the three weeks I was there I helped finalize the building of school classrooms and taught the children art, English, inspiration and played games with them.
