Passionate About:

I am passionate about music, traveling, learning Spanish, and experiencing different cultures. This is why I am so interested in going on this trip to Nicaragua. Last year, I went on the Ecuador trip with GSE and it changed my life. Being immersed in another culture as rich and vibrant as Ecuador's and collaborating on environmental projects with the local students there gave me a whole new perspective of how other people live. Meeting other high school students from another country with whom I shared a similar interest in helping the environment was an incredible and eye opening experience. I learned about sustainable agriculture, leadership, communication, and developed a new perspective of culture. This trip helped me to develop as an individual and understand a part of who I am. I would like to have another culturally immersive experience in Nicaragua so I can continue to expand my global perspective and help the environment.

Volunteer Activity Message

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.
