Echo Field Trip

ECHO, educational concerns for hunger organization, was formed to teach people in developing countries appropriate farming techniques and provide seeds and other necessities to help build healthier communities. ECHO is a global effort and hopes to spread their message to many people. At first, I've never heard of ECHO. After the trip to the North Fort Myers ECHO facility, I was astonished and amazed by their creative farming methods. The ECHO staff showed tremendous ecological knowledge and use their skills to come up with unique and efficient ways for low-income villages to help feed their families. These methods all used recycling methods that included animal wastes, plants, and man-made objects (cola cans, rugs, etc.). ECHO had a variety of farming techniques for each harsh environment found around the globe.
I plan to visit ECHO with my family soon and learn more to help the organization and people who are in need. Around the world, poverty is become more rapid and the need of food is rising. I'm certainly grateful organizations like ECHO are working hard everyday to help the poor and devote themselves to improving villages in the most impoverished areas.
