Cal State Chico Ecuador Winter Break 2017



Victoria's Message

This will be my second time working with GSE and almost three years later I still believe it is a great organization. As soon as I found out they came to Chico State, I signed up for this trip. The last time I went to Ecuador was amazing and now I want to go back. Again, I will be working on another reforestation project. First I will be in Bahía de Caráquez working in the community and then to the beach to plant so many trees! If you would like more information about my trip or the cause, feel free to ask. I love telling people about what I'm going to be doing. I hope you will consider supporting me and helping me reach my goal of $2489. Thank you so much in advance!

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.
