So I am pretty sure we will see many more weird and wonderful creatures and plants while out here, but I thought I would do a post dedicated to some of what has been seen so far. To make things easier I am going to just post an album with random pictures of various things. You will find different flowers, fruits (Plantain, banana, coconut, avocado orange), snails, giant centipedes, mushrooms, lizards, scorpions, and a big nasty spider which I happened to look up and see a couple feet above my head while I was about to sleep. If you have any questions on specific photos please just leave a comment and I will respond!
About SEED
The SEED Program is an exciting and innovative way of capitalizing on the unique skills of our students, providing them with a life changing learning opportunity, while also providing meaningful and lasting impact in the areas we operate. SEED was initially conceptualized in the fall of 2006 as a component of The Huntsman School’s first summer (2007) study abroad program to South America. Early thoughts were centered on the creation of a micro-loan program. However, as successful as some of these programs are at giving people independence they are not as successful at actually lifting the participants out of poverty. Based on this, it was determined that small enterprise development would have a more meaningful financial impact for the native participants and would lead to sustainable economic growth.
