Artist statement rough draft

My big idea is volunteering/giving particularly in missions. I took a trip to a very poor and corrupt part of Honduras mainly working with children. I would like to convey how poor this country is and what kind of opportunities I had to help the people of this country. While working with children and an all girls orphanage I taught about God, sang, played games, made crafts, gave gifts, etc. I have been on a few other mission trips but this one had to most impact on me. This Big Idea is extremely important to me because it was a life changing experience. It made me realize how fortunate I really am. Before I went I had the mind set of changing lives, helping, and making a difference but in the end, the Hondurans really changed my life. It is just so humbling to see how happy the people are and how thankful they are for what they have, but the thing is, it seems to us like they have absolutely nothing! I am very passionate about giving and I hope to go to Honduras again.
