My Sustainable Roots Experience

I was a short-term volunteer and stayed for two weeks, which I quickly learned was not nearly long enough. I was able to help with English classes, greenhouse restoration, and other community enhancement projects. I was also able to explore surrounding areas, such as Quito and Tena, where I went white water rafting (so much fun!). The people of Cosanga are so welcoming and friendly that I never felt like I didn't belong. The kids are so full of life and were so enjoyable to be around; I miss them dearly. There is so much heart and passion in this program and I can't wait to watch it grow!
