#3 ECHO

The second field trip we went on was to a place called ECHO that teaches farmers, that live in slightly less than hospitable environments, how to make use of what they have in order to farm and provide for their families.  Not all of the training that goes on at ECHO is geared towards the 3rd world farmer but, it the volunteers there can show people, who live in the hunger-stricken areas of the world, how to survive.  Our guide showed us around the property but, he apparently left a few things out of the tour.  Dr. Morris had us covered though.  My favorite part of the trip was being able to actually eat some of the things that they were growing right from the tree.  They were mostly leaves, but it was pretty cool.
