I have volunteered twice on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota with an organization called Re-member. Both times my tasks involved providing service to the indigenous community by getting them crucial supplies and by aiding in repairing their homes. Just this last summer I volunteered in Panama with an organization called Global Brigades.

This interest eventually extended into artists in Hip Hop, then Electronic Dance Music,
