In July, Ashton Hardin traveled to the heart of the Amazon with 200 university students from the U.S. and Brazil as part of ADRA\u2019s volunteer program\u2014ADRA Connections.<\/p>\n
It was extreme! 30 hours by boat, hammocks instead of beds, no cell or internet connection!<\/p>\n
Ashton, student association president, and student chaplain at La Sierra University in southern California saw the mission experience as a great way to reconnect with her faith and her global community.<\/p>\n
By the end of the two-week mission trip, the hard work of volunteers like Ashton truly paid off: a multi-building school complex stood where there was once only jungle. 44 young students, ages 5-14, now have classrooms, a cafeteria, library, dormitories, and homes for their volunteer teachers. Soon up to 200 students will be able to attend school and have the chance for a bright, bright future!<\/p>\n
