This program is developed for students interested in making a positive impact through service-learning projects, deepen their understanding of other cultures, and integrate in meaningful community service activities.
During the service-learning experience in Vuelta Grande, students can teach English lessons to the local students from age 3-13 at FUNCOLI’S Learning Center, which was established in 2014 to give local children the opportunity to attend daily classes, receive a nourishing meal, and participate in art workshops. Additionally, students can help with the construction of dry latrines or ecological stoves. Dry latrines greatly reduce the contamination of ground water, while ecological stoves help to reduce respiratory ailments and deforestation.
