Seattle U Ecuador Spring Break



Emma's Message

I'm traveling to Bahia de Caráquez, Ecuador with youth leadership organization, Global Student Embassy this spring. Our group will be planting trees to prevent erosion, restore habitat for animals, and to help decrease global warming. Earthquakes and landslides hit Bahía in the late 1990s and GSE will be partnering with local students, biologists, and environmental activists to restore degraded areas around Bahía and La Punta Gorda. Ecuador suffers the highest rates of deforestation in South America, we are all affected by climate change, and as youth we want to do our part to help restore our natural environments for future generations!
Anything helps!

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.
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.
