Participant Web Pages

Many participants post their reflections online, providing past participants with an excellent resource for maintaining a sense of connection to the host country and its local partner communities.  These sites may also be used by those persons who have not traveled with the Center for Global Education in the past, but may be considering one of its seminars in the near future.  The following links will help past participants remain connected to specific communities and provide future participants with glimpses of the seminar experience.

Blog of a participant on the Youth from Edgewood-Oxford Sojourning (YES) to El Salvador.

Shannon was one of the 8 adults who joined 13 young people from her United Church congregation in Canada. They spent eight days visiting San Salvador, Perquín, El Mozote, and Nueva Esperanza where they learned about human rights and the culture in El Salvador. "We have just arrived home," she writes, "but the story has just begun."  http://brokenness2hope.blogspot.com/
