I have a great respect for ECHO and what they do. I think it
is a great humanitarian organization that doesn’t depend much on money to
operate and to help poor countries. Compared to American agriculture, some of
the types of farming and cooking may seem primitive, but anyone from any area
and with any type of bank account can do it. The difference that it makes in
one’s sense of pride is worth the labor involved.
In thinking of the term “developing world”, I don’t always
think technology and transportation. Sometimes it can be considered as the
continuation of the human race in all areas of the globe. ECHO’s work is very
relevant in survival of not only the human race, but the Earth as a whole. I
like the fact that they teach people to use what they have to survive; which is
appropriate technology. I would enjoy to be able to provide service learning
hours at the ECHO organization, but I live in Naples and a few trips over there
just aren’t economical for me right now.
