Hola! (That's about all the Spanish I know lol)
My name is Jalena and I am a senior at the University of Michigan studying Music Education. I am from Detroit, Michigan and have never been out of the country.
I am going to Ecuador from May 1st until the 29th. I will be traveling with Ginsberg Pangea World Service Team to help local communities with sustainable farming. I will also teach english and learn Spanish (Yay!!)
I chose this service project because it involves a culture I am very curious about and it was cheaper than other volunteer programs. I found out about this program through a posting wall and applied like the night before it was due. It was just meant and I love the idea of the trip and the people I will be traveling with.
My goal for the summer is to really get to know the Ecuadorian culture along with getting to know who I really am. I am excited about this life changing journey I will embark on in less than 2 weeks!!
Also I must note that I am living with a host family that only speaks Spanish.. I only speak English and German... hopefully by the time I leave, I will be so knowledgable of Spanish I will truly say, "Me Speaka No English" :)
I totally love it. Good luck and I am so very proud of you. Love you much sweetie!!!
