Indigenous Worldviews (No. 2)

Hello to all the parents/guardians/friends that found our blog! Today promptly at 9:30 am, we welcomed leaders from the local school, Carlos Garbay, a school for special needs children, to present to them our sustainable community action projects (CAP) intended to improve various parts of the school. If you’ve been keeping up with the previous entries, you would know that we have been learning about the various cultures of Ecuador.  After our presentations, we boarded the bus destined for the indigenous land called Cacha. When we arrived, we were greeted by a man named Segundo who had prepped a delicious meal called Pambamesa. We had locally grown vegetables and tried Cuy (guinea pig) for the first time. After receiving a tour of the grounds we participated in a Cacha cleansing ceremony facilitated by Segundo.
