Ecuador here we come!

The American group is gearing up for our trip to Quito, Ecuador that will leave Saturday, February 19th. Over the last month we have been holding language lessons to practice Spanish as well as to gain a broader perspective of what it will be like traveling to a developing country. Three students from the Glens Falls area will participate in the trip for this project From the Adirondacks to the Middle of the World: Community, Challenges and Contributions.


We are all very excited to begin our journey touring Quito - experiencing the culture, learning the language, visiting the sites and meeting our counterparts at the Museum of the City. There is a lot ahead of us and we hope you can follow us throughout the next week along the way!

Before beginning the journey, the students took a brief moment to share their responses to the following question:
