Northeastern Ecuador Spring Break 2015

Jacqueline's Message

Hi everyone! I am very excited to be going to Ecuador for an alternative spring break trip! I will be doing reforestation and other eco-service on the Ecuadorian coast, something that, as you all know, is my passion, and I couldn't be more ecstatic for this opportunity! However, I can't do it without support from my friends, family, and other important people in my life, so I would be infinitely grateful for any donations that can get me closer to this dream service trip! 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.
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.
