By: Cameron DeVries Why does the sun rise every morning, or the moon every night? Why do rivers keep flowing or plants keep growing? Imagine a dog in Agora, quietly wandering its way into camp, only to loudly knock over the trash can and search through the miniature landfill in hopes of snagging any possible … Continue reading Resilience
By: Tanner St. Louis Expansion seems to be a common theme throughout this trip for me. Growing up in rural America gave me a very specific way of seeing how the world works, and how the world should be. Middlesex County has about 3 stoplights, and many people grow up there and continue to live … Continue reading Expansion
By: Nicole Francisco What lets us know that we are alive? Is it our heart beats ticking time away, or our basic needs clamoring to be met? Or is it the various emotions that materialize in our being when we have interactions such as receiving a kind smile from a stranger or respecting and helping … Continue reading Balance
By: Kendall Cochran Strength and Welcome At Dodital, there was a peaceful cold - even though I was ill, I knew I was meant to be there.

This trip would be the first time I have travelled to a different country without my family. So I was expecting to feel lost or disoriented in this extremely … Continue reading Comfort and Family

We are both reminiscing on the trip and thinking about all the funny moments throughout the days. Tomorrow, we head off to our biggest adventure yet: Agora. For my blog post, I wanted to … Continue reading Cooper’s Highlight Tape
By: Emilie Janzen How often do you sit and wonder where you are? Today, as I sat on a rock on the edge of the Ganges, Mr. Cola gave us a prompt to consider - where am I? We were asked to consider not just the name of the city or location, but where are … Continue reading Where Am I?
