My First End/New Beginning

Although my first year at school is over, I've still got plenty of things happening that are both worth recording and Swarthmore related. This summer I'll be traveling to Otavalo, Ecuador with the Village Education Project, a program started by Swarthmore alum Katie Chamblee. I'll stay there for four weeks to teach math and english to students preparing for high school. Students who maintain a certain GPA (on the 20 point Ecuadorian scale) will receive a scholarship that covers the costs of attending high school, such as transportation fees and uniform purchases. I'll use this blog to keep track of what happens.
