Meet the gentle giant heart of Jessica Koster. She is a Physical Therapist and has chosen to use her skills and her path to help families and children in Africa. Often creatively finding new ways to practice her trade without money or supplies, she has taken a few month volunteer engagement and turned it into a several year full hearted immersion into another continent and another side of her life.
