Analy Nicaragua Spring Break 2017



Alexis's Message

This year I have started to work with the Global Student Embassy which is a foreign exchange program to help provide families with fresh organic produce. During March some of my classmates and I will be going to Boaco, Nicaragua continuing to garden and being able to see the impact we are making. If you would be able to donate to help me go on this trip I would appreciate it. I believe this trip will promote youth leadership and self discipline. I am very lucky to have the chance to help others and I hope you can see why this trip is very important. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Volunteer Activity Description

TRAVEL.
Traveling with GSE involves everything from visiting a native bird sanctuary to hiking along Ecuador’s beautiful coastline. Students enjoy authentic Ecuadorian cuisine and collaborate on local projects with their international peers.

LEARN.
GSE uses hands-on service-learning projects and cultural exchanges to provide students with life changing learning opportunities. Students develop ecological literacy and participate in grassroots international relations while building crucial 21st century skills such as communication and collaboration.

IMPACT.
Each year during exchange programs, students plant 5,000 native trees in La Punta Gorda Preserve. Students also work along side their Ecuadorian peers at Fanny de Baird High School to further develop their school garden. The garden provides produce for the school community and offers an interactive education on local food systems and organic farming.

GROW.
Plants aren’t the only things that grow! International travel facilitates profound transformation for students. Students leave the trip with a better understanding of different cultures and people, inspiring them to become change makers and leaders in their own community.
