Getting Ready

Ten Longwood students, two faculty, and a local area teacher will travel to Ecuador to explore life in a developing country and the debate about drilling for oil in the Amazon jungle. We will explore many different geographic areas, requiring us to cross the Andes mountain range which runs north to south. From seeing the whales who come to give birth off of Ecuador's western coast, to staying in an Andean highland community, to living with the Waoranis in the Yasuni, the experiences are too many to list here. We will do our best to keep up this journal, as connectivity allows, so you may see all of the great things that our group will be doing. DATES: July 31-August 12.Okumaya devam et
