Impactful Summer 2012: OSU Team's Journey in Nicaragua

In the summer of 2012, our OSU team embarked on a transformative journey to Nicaragua, where we worked with the Feed the Children project. We aimed to empower local families through sustainable agricultural practices and community support. Highlights of our trip included building chicken coops, delivering 220 chickens to 20 families, and enhancing greenhouse techniques. Engaging with the community, we introduced innovative methods for growing crops and provided educational experiences for children. The memories we created and the lives we touched will last a lifetime.
