ECHO Fieldtrip

After visiting ECHO, I really felt inspired and motivated because this organization actually makes it possible for regular people like me to help the world become a better place! Basically, this organization works with poverty stricken countries all around the world and educates them how to use their natural resources so they can feed themselves. As I was walking through this site, I was blown away by some of the trees with “super powers” such as the Moringa tree, which has four times the calcium that is found in milk, seven times the vitamin C that is found in oranges, four times the vitamin A that is found in carrots, 3 times the potassium that is found in bananas, and 2 times the protein found in milk. That is amazing, I never knew that such a powerful tree could exist! Overall, I really found sense of purpose in visiting this site and I will definitely complete the remaining of my service learning hours here! There is so much more to be learned, this is a great place!
