ECHO was a very beautiful farm. Very organic in nature and serene. They had so many beautiful bamboo trees clinging against each other as the wind blew. All the bamboo was missing was a nice koala bear! :p Although, they are organic and practice "sustainable" farming, ironically one of the things they do is genetically modify fruit trees and fruit bearing biota to help feed the hunger. Overall it's a great place to be with a great mission. They go abroad and teach people effective ways of farming to maximize water to irrigate with and produce food. The farm is a Christian farm, very religiously based. Although, their motives are great, I would not be interested in performing my service learning with this agency because of the religious aspect.
