Hildur, Nora, Leandro, and Zuleica walking Canoa streets
AMWA member Alisha Subveri recently had the opportunity to travel to Ecuador for the Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) Global Leadership Conference.
Here is a small excerpt that she wrote about her trip:
"This past June, I was able to attend Ponce Health Sciences University Global Leadership Conference in Ecuador after they had recently suffered an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.8 on April 16th of this year. PHSU partnered with Ecuador Awaits, an organization founded by Nora Egeberg and Leandro Villacis, with a mission to offer travelers the unique experience of exploring Ecuador, while helping Ecuadorians through volunteer work. Volunteers are led to where help is most needed, and work with Ecuadorians on innovative and sustainable projects. During our trip, both organizations had a joint purpose to empower the community of Canoa and assist in their community’s reestablishment."
