We are excited to share with you EGL’s brand new Volunteer Abroad blog site! This coming Sunday, three groups of EGL students will leave for New Delhi, India, Quito, Ecuador, and Cusco, Peru to participate in two-week service learning trips. During their trips, they will be sharing thoughts, stories, photos, and (hopefully!) videos documenting their experiences.
Did you know that EGL has organized volunteer abroad trips each summer since 2007? Check out this throwback to our trips to India in 2014 and Peru in 2013:
“Seeing the children’s smiles and passion for learning is something that will always stay with me. You would never believe they lived in such an impoverished area by their attitudes. My favorite part was definitely working with the children and watching them learn. I think about them every day, and I really hope the best for them.” -Nicole Rojas, India 2014
“We built a large greenhouse completely in 7 days, when it typically takes 3-4 weeks to build one. It was great seeing everyone work as a team to accomplish a common goal. The project was an extremely rewarding experience. The most eye-opening aspect of the trip was that the family we were building the greenhouse for worked along side us daily. Maria and her two children were out there carrying and lifting bricks, and teaching us skills needed in order to be successful.” -Melissa Sweeney, Peru 2013
