Field Trip #2 - ECHO

It was interesting to see how ECHO taught the underprivledged how to fend for themselves and to utilize their resources to feed their families. With their mission, "to network with community leaders in developing countries to seek hunger solutions for families growing food under difficult conditions," they are able to fight world hunger by giving seeds, agriculture tools and ideas. I enjoyed tasting all of the edible plants and looking at the rabbits and goats. I didn't really enjoy looking at the tilapia pond and I was incredibly grossed out by the garbage pit.

I really don't have a green thumb, but I atleast try. I have a green fern on my lanai that always looks half-dead no matter what I do. Every other plant I've had has done really well for about a month, but then always dies. I think if I absolutley had to I could grow my own food, but from past experiences I don't think that it would look too appealing.
