Five. It is hard to believe that in only five more days it will be spring break and I will be getting on a plane to go to Bolivia. The past two months have gone by so quick but gave us a better understanding and preparation for some of the things that we will experience…

Nothing’s Going to Stop Us Now
I’m starting to count down the days and I’m excited, yet nervous. So much has happened since I first applied for this service-learning program. And if you knew my history you’d understand why. After a year of raising money to build schools in Haiti, my excursion was canceled 2 days before we were scheduled to…
A Short Wait Until Puerto Rico
It is hard to believe that our trip to Puerto Rico is less than a week! We have been working with Caras con Causa for close to a month and a half at this point as we develop a strategic marketing initiative for their environmental field lab. Next week we will be working directly with…
One Week Until Trini Time!
It’s crazy to think that we are now just a week away from leaving for Trinidad. It feels like just last week I had gotten accepted into the program and now here we are preparing our first reports for Nature Seekers and beginning to pack before we leave next weekend. Because we are getting so…
The Final Countdown
We’re onto the final countdown! Our flight to Puerto Rico departs on Saturday, only five days away. While the Pittsburgh weather has been relatively good yesterday and today, I’m eager to get away to a warmer climate and get the field portion of this course underway. Preparation has consisted of getting vaccinated, meeting to work…
Cochabamba Here We Come!
In less than a week I will be boarding my flight to Cochabamba, Bolivia where I can finally meet the people in CEOLI and explore the city that I have been learning so much about this semester! After reading about the culture there, understanding the purpose of service learning, and the business dynamics of Bolivia,…
Puerto Rico Bound
With less than a week before our departure, I am so excited to finally get to work directly with Caras Con Causa and get a firsthand look at the environmental lab we have been working to promote as well as see the community of Catano, around which all of Caras’ efforts are centered. While my…
With Trinidad So Close…
In just under a week, my team and I will be traveling to the beautiful island of Trinidad and I am so excited! This semester we have spent countless hours completing preliminary research, preparing our scope of work and preparing our best practices deliverable for our client, Nature Seekers. It seems as though all of…
See you soon, Bolivia!
With less than a week until we arrive in Bolivia, we have been starting to think a lot about what we actually need to accomplish while in-country in order to make our deliverables the best they can be for our client, CEOLI. While we are essentially going to Bolivia for business purposes, it is very…
