Achieving the Dream


       Hello! Thank you for finding this page! Or rather, thank this page for finding you!
      Whether you are here by choice or have been brought here by chance, I thank you immensely for taking the time to continue reading a bit more about me and my purpose. 

     My name is Lauren Clark and I am currently 18 years old. I am a first year student at Valparaiso University, however this is my last year at this particular university. Why? Because there is a fire burning in my heart, URGING me to volunteer in Africa and Indonesia. I can not fully explain this feeling with words, but as of the moment, my current home is the entire planet. It is absolutely imperative that I follow this calling to volunteer. 

       I do not belong here... What I mean to say is that I, more correctly, belong to the world. I do not belong to one country or one state. I believe that I belong to this entire planet. All of my brothers and sisters speak thousands of different languages, live in hundreds of different countries, and have billions of different smiles. 

       It is therefore my urgent and determined goal to take this year, starting in May, to travel to three different countries to help my Earth family. I will be teaching English to children and conserving the Nosy Komba forest of Madagascar. I will be teaching English, Hygeine awareness, and Environmental education to the children  of Ubud, Bali. And finally, I will be educating the women of Kenya.       

      Because I feel that I am truly a global citizen, I know that these 9 months of volunteering will dramatically allow for the integration of global awareness and initiation of a life dedicated to the greater good of our human race.    


       My goal is to leave a small footprint on the planet but a large impact on humanity - and YOU have the power to help me do so....
