Entry #6

ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organizations) is a great non-profit Christian organization that helps poverty suffering countries in agriculture. They send missionaries to the developing countries to teach farming techniques so that they can live off their own land. The turkens and how they use the animals to help the land is what stood out for me. For example, they put the duck house above the pond that has tarpon that eats the ducks waste and algae; It's clever and so simple to do.  At ECHO the work they do is very relevant to the developing world. ECHO uses "appropriate technology." They use everyday things that most people already have to make into something you can use to farm with, such as rugs, cans, and tires to grow plants into. I would be interested in performing my service learning hours with ECHO. It would be interesting to learn how to use stuff I already have to farm and your helping others in impoverished countries at the same time.
