Day 10 – Final Reflection
Student Trip Blog
Today we went to a local community, El Chorro, where an organization called Asodecho operates. We spoke with the president of Asodecho, we talked about how he initiates changes, overcomes challenges, and continues to better his community.
Today was the first day of our Community Action Project (CAP). We went to Rio Grande, a small community that has been forgotten by authorities, leading the locals to take matters into their own hands and solve problems by themselves. We interviewed community leaders and found out what they need most. These interviews got us thinking about what our CAP is going to be. Then Mecho, the main community leader, showed us what they have and are working on improving.
Back at the hotel, we started playing charades with the children from the family that owns the hotel, and this morphed into having a K-pop dance party.
