UCSC Spring Break Trip to Coastal Ecuador 2015

Gilberto's Message

Hello my fellow supporters ,

First of all i would like to thank you for taking the time to come to this page. By doing so you have showed some interest in my trip to Ecuador. I am in need of substantial assistance due to being a college student on a budget so I will say any donation counts even if you share a smile with me i would greatly thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Second, this will be the only time i get to travel and actually do hands on work in a different country. All i can think about are the beautiful smiles of the people who we will be assisting with restoring their defragmented environment due to global pollution and climate change.

Third, help me help the world we are all essential to this planet so why not take care of our resources even if the sources are not in our backyard but several countries over.

Lastly, thank you for giving me hope it means the whole world to me. Like a plant needs water, air, sun light, minerals and many other resources, I need of each and everyone of you. Moniteraly, morally and emotionally.

Thank you very much,
Gilberto Rosas

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.
