During my service learning project i saw the importance of ECHO of SWFL and I found a way to give back to the community and help ECHO. ECHO is a world known agency that helps villages and other communities around the world figure our how to live and be fully sustainable off of the surrounds. ECHO would give them tips and guides on how to grab the resources around them and not only live a more sustainable life but a healthier one.
What i did for my service learning project was take 2 different plants that they keep there and do some research about the plants and make a video about it. The 2 plants that were given to my group were Lemon Grass and Malabar Spinach. It was very interesting to learn about these plants and it was an amazing feeling to know that what i was doing for ECHO could potentially help a local grower or a grower across the world in planting these plants for their resources, food, or vitamins they provide.
the two videos can be found here

What i also did was make QR codes for the videos i made and the QR codes for websites where i found the information about the plants.
Again i hope what i did can help ECHO in learning more about these plants and help them to further enhance the lives of others.
