MINGA!

by Caroline Deeter '23
Today we participated in our first Minga!
Today we ventured high above the treeline into the Ecuadorian country side. It was finally time to participate in the widely anticipated “minga” project. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery and breathtaking mountains, we got down to business and helped a family get ready for a construction project. The process entailed lots of grueling work hoeing and pick-axing to clear the land. We were covered in dirt and feeling quite warm but luckily the clouds rolled in and engulfed us in a cooling mist. We came home, showered up, and ended the day with a beautiful mass in Spanish at Juan Bautista de Cotocollao.
