Colombia: Week 1

June 30
By McCall Plummer


Our first week in Colombia has been amazing.  We have had many experiences that we will never forget after only being here one week.  On Wednesday, we taught a lesson using the FAMA technique on trash.  Our goal was to raise awareness that throwing your garbage in the street effects the environment and health of individuals in the community.  It was well received for the most part, but I noticed that Dayer really came to understand the meaning of our lesson.   He had some great insights that really added to the process.  He mentioned that throwing garbage everywhere creates bad air quality, and that it ruins the beauty of the outdoors.  It was exciting to see him reach these ideas and take something away from our discussion.  Hopefully, he will be as receptive in the weeks to come.
