ECHO

We visited ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization) today. ECHO is a multi faceted program that strives to cure hunger through training, innovation and networking with people from various countries all around the world. 


I think our field trip to ECHO was very interesting and informative. Its good to know there is a group of people willing to strive to make a real difference. This seems to be a very successful program that would be a worthy cause to donate our service learning hours to. Im sure ECHO can use the volunteers.


By far, the most interesting tree that I saw there was the Moringa tree. It is a thick tree with drooping branches that is cultivated for many uses including water purification, malnutrition, and as an antiseptic. ECHO does its fair share in distributing the seeds and knowledge of these trees to many countries world wide.
