Kicker Rock at Sunset - seen from San Cristbal island.
From November 22 till December 6, 2008, I had the privilege of participating in the Toyota International Teacher Program to the Galapagos Islands.
Thirty teachers from nearly 1000 U.S. applicants were chosen to participate in an environmental expedition to the Galápagos Islands, a designated World Heritage site off the coast of Ecuador, as part of the Toyota International Teacher Program. The study tour for secondary teachers focused on promoting environmental conservation and sustainability, as well as international understanding.
Part of my commitment to the program was to provide a community impact plan to share what I learned with the communtiy. During the study tour, I photographed the biological diversity of the islands, environmental issues impacting the area, and the people and culture of the islands.
