Hello, students and parents!

Greetings from The Barn (Putney’s HQ here in Vermont). We your leaders have just finished our weekend of leader orientation; it was a busy four days. We made final preparations for our trip and we cannot wait to meet all of you in just a few weeks. We hope you’re as excited as we are to immerse yourself in a new culture, zip line over the cloud forest, improve your language skills, swim with sea lions, and experience countless more adventures!

In the meantime, we encourage you to continue practicing your Spanish, researching more about Ecuador, and thinking about goals and projects you might want to work on throughout this month together. This will help ensure that we can make the very most out of this amazing opportunity. See you soon!

Abrazos,

Nicolás y Claire
