On Friday, May 27, 2011 I took an adventure to Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization also known as ECHO with my friend whom is also taking University Colloquium. We arrived at the site a little before 10 o’clock ready to go on our tour for the day. Throughout the tour I learned many new aspects about agriculture. I was able to understand the agricultural challenges rural farmers face around the world, which includes water resources, crop trading, and crop growing. I believe teaching and good knowledge of these agricultural aspects would help the rural farmers improve their agriculture. ECHO brings seeds to other countries and teaches them to grow and create trade with neighboring areas. During the tour I was able to use the well pump. I found the well pump to be a genius way to pump water more efficiently. I also loved seeing the variety of ways ECHO used tires since it is bad for the environment to burn tires. They use them to make stairs, flower pots, or garden surroundings. I was able to achieve the learning goals at ECHO throughout the tour. I found the tour to be very interesting and informational.
