In this day and age, contributing to world wide problems is something that every one should strive for. I also like how Dr. Lebrun implores us all to learn through travel, and to give back to those less fortunate.

Paul Farmer changed the lives of many people through his work. Farmer's unrelenting perseverance allowed him to help the sick in Haiti, where it is most needed. Being an Economics major I see the importance of equality in society.
