We have come back with Action Plans to continue our work giving back to communities in Ecuador through Free the Children Foundation and School District's Adopted Village Initiative.
- We have created power point presentations below to share the experience and motivate others to get involved
- We created and sold calendars with our trip photos raising money for our adopted village
- We have started the Bella Vista Tea Trolley selling tea on an ongoing basis to raise money for our adopted village
- We are taking part in a Famine for Ecuador in May to raise money through pledges for a fast
- We are planning a dance event fundraiser for next year
