Drake Ecuador February Break 2017



Dahlia's Message

Hello, my name is Dahlia and I go to Sir Francis Drake high school. I've always been very passionate about helping the world and saving the environment. Our high school has a program called Global Student Embassy. Global Student Embassy works to inspire youth to become active in making our world a more environmentally friendly place. This February break myself and some fellow Drake students are trying to go on a trip to Ecuador to plant trees, build greenhouses, and connect with high schoolers in other parts of the world to talk about how together we can make the world a better place. Any donations to this cause would be greatly appreciated. You can learn more about Global Student Embassy here: https://globalstudentembassy.org

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.
