		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;ALWAYS LEAVE IT BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT&#8221;
  
That was my dad&#8217;s adage whenever we went anywhere.  It&#8217;s a simple call of duty and applies to travel, work, and other things. It&#8217;s especially relevant in a volunteer vacation like PLAY it Forward Adventures.
There are two components to this mantra that are worth detailing.  
The first is recognizing that [...]]]></description>
