Seed Farm at Sunset

Wrapping up our tour of HM Clause's seed farm in Ica, Peru during sunset.

The official Wedgworth flag!!

There is much talk about which is the "best" class of this program--each are unique and great in their own way--Class IX is unique in that they are traveling with the official WLI flag!!  

We made it!!

Pictures and more words tomorrow but we are in Lima and have a "short sleep" before heading south tomorrow morning.  Happy to be getting this trip underway!!

Getting ready to board...

About 6 hours from now WLI class IX should arrive in Peru! Everyone is in great spirits and excited for the adventure!

8 days and counting...

In a little over a week we will be flying to Peru to begin our International Trip!

I still check my mailbox everyday in hopes that there will be a packet for our next seminar.  I cannot believe how fast the two years of the Wedgworth programing elapsed.  See everyone soon at the next Wedgworth event. 

Class VII alum presents at UF

A big thanks to Karen Pate (Class VII),  Executive Director of the Crystal Springs Preserve who talked to UF's Department of Agricultural Education and Communications graduate students and faculty about the importance of water sustainability and youth education.

One of the take-home messages from Pate:

"Water conservation, water awareness and recycling must be a way of life."

Thank you Karen! We enjoyed your presentation and loved learning more about the importance of youth education about water issues and how we can help.

Karen Pate and Dr. Hannah Carter.
