Marlene *From:* ecomentorirene at gmail.com [mailto: ecomentorirene at gmail.com ] *On Behalf Of *Irene Lam *Sent:* Wednesday, January 22, 2014 12:05 PM *To:* Swartz, Marlene *Subject:* Alternative Spring Break program for Ohio University students Hi Marlene, Irene from Operation Groundswell here...we just spoke a moment ago. To reiterate, we run international service learning programs, and I wanted to get in touch with you because we have an alternative spring break program running in Guatemala for students at Ohio University. We would greatly appreciate it if you would be able to send this to all the students in the various departments you manage. It'd be a great opportunity for them! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this as we hope to see more Ohio University students on our programs! Thanks so much, Irene IS FAIR TRADE REALLY FAIR? FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF IN GUATEMALA THIS SPRING BREAK Step out of the classroom and into a hands-on exploration of everything coffee – its economics, its markets, its exploitative history, and the truth behind fair trade. This Spring Break, come work with us on the slopes of the Pacaya volcano as we pick coffee alongside local farmers while basking in the Guatemalan sun. We will discuss political change and social transformation with local organizations while immersing students like you in Mayan culture. We'll have the opportunity to meet with the real human faces working to make a difference in Guatemala as we: · Get our hands dirty cultivating coffee alongside local coffee farmers · Meet with former guerrillas who have traded their guns for farming tools · Hike one of Central America’s highest volcanic peaks Apply by our deadline on February 12! < http://operationgroundswell.com/ > *Can’t travel during your Spring Break or want to travel elsewhere? We also have a number of programs in the summer all around the world! * Check out our map of where we go. www.operationgroundswell.com Operation Groundswell is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to ethical travel. We facilitate programs that combine experiential learning, responsible volunteering and off-the-beaten path adventure all around the world.
