Passionate About:

My passion for helping others, my interest in the environment, and my love for traveling are all combined into this program and this trip. My first time leaving the country was to visit Boaco, Nicaragua during Spring Break 2014, and I returned in the summer for a month-long internship. I anticipate new discoveries, learning experiences, and memories to last a lifetime in Ecuador!

Windsor Spring Break in Ecuador 2015



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.

Beyond enjoying the abundance of beauty and biodiversity of Nicaragua, students cultivate leadership skills through the implementation of projects in collaboration with Nicaraguan leaders and students.
