CAMPO IMMERSIONS

Part of Comunidad 12 with the kids of La Vereda!

Each semester, Encuentro students go on two Campo Immerersions.  During these immersions, we spend ten days living with host families in rural communities. While we are there, we spend time getting to know the community, living in solidarity with our new neighbors and working on a service project.  For our first Campo Immersion this semester, we went to a small mountain community called La Vereda, near the north coast of the country.  While there, we constructed 18 latrines and 6 cement floors for families who didn't have them.  We each took turns blogging about our experience, so here are our perspectives of what life was like in La Vereda!
