Quote from Brittany Pirozollo, who volunteered in the Village of Koh Phra Thon, Thailand

“ There are a few things in the world better than a child’s smile. That non-jaded, pure joy, utterly happy kind of smile that readiates deep in your core. The only things better than that smile is knowing you are the reason for that”
