MOVEMENT AWAY FROM THE CENTER

by Shayla Frederick '14
The Group explores Quito and beyond.
We have had a busy last 48 hours of learning and local experiences. Yesterday, we began our day exploring the local Food Market, where a lot of the families from the Center shop each week for fresh produce. We were given an idea of various demographics of families at the center and had the opportunity to practice perspective talking as we walked through the market and saw the prices of items. Afterwards, we did some heavy lifting back at El Centro to help get set up for elections happening on site. Then we had the chance to visit the Jesuit church, Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, in the historic center and see the original location of the El Centro. Today, we experienced the beauty of Ecuador during our visit to a lake in a volcano and then a market stroll. Overall, we are looking forward to cherishing our final days here and soaking up every last bit of the community and learnings. We had our second birthday and this time we got to sing to Averi! Happy Birthday!
