Alex Mathews with Saidi, a Tanzanian volunteer.

Alex Mathews (21), a senior at UCLA and my second cousin, is spending her second summer volunteering with One Heart Source in a village near Arusha. Alex’s grandfather (my Uncle Stan Mathews) connected us when he realized we’d be in Tanzania at the same time. We stopped in to visit and were impressed with her dedication and commitment to helping others, a passion we felt in all the people we met in the organization, all younger than 26.

College students volunteer for 4-week or 8-week sessions.
