Echo

Echo was a great experience for me. I learned a lot about the organization and love that they are able to touch the lives of so many people. Teaching others who are less fortunate to become self sustainable using the resources they already have is the best way to solve the hunger problem. Building a self sustaining farm is much cheaper than donating food, and it gives them an endless supply. The most interesting part of the experience to me was the Duck and Tilapia Pond. I found it so interesting that the combination of having those two animals sharing the same enviornment makes a self sustaining food supply. It requires very little effort to maintain and produces a lot of food. Another interesting thing I learned was how to purify water using solar energy. This is something that I feel everyone should know because you never know when you will have to use it. I think that by teaching this to people in thhird world countries it will solve a lot of clean water shortage problems. They can utilize this for drinking and cooking and never run out. I also though it was interesting how you could use solar energy, although I don't remember how it is done, to bake foods. If they are given the resources this could help from having to cut down a abundance of firewood. I think that this is a wonderful organization. Educating people is the best gift you can give them. It is knowledge that they can continue to pass on and improve the life of others. I think that it is organizations like this one that can help the most in solving the hunger crisis around the world.
