Miramonte Spring Break in Ecuador

Gaby's Message

Hello!
My name is Gaby Mancheno and I am hoping to go on a community service trip to Ecuador in the spring. The only obstacle I have is the money to get there. If you could donate as little as twenty dollars that would help me so much. The amount I need to get there is $2,300 and it all starts with any kind of donation. Some background on the trip is that it is a very friendly organization to help the locals. As you may have recently heard, a lot of the towns were destroyed by natural disasters. The way that I will be helping is by planting 3,000 native trees in La Punta Gorda Preserve and I will also be helping build a school garden. Any kind of donation is acknowledged and I would really appreciate it if you could help me get to Ecuador! Thank you so much.

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 3,000 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.
