Bucarabones is a small barrio located in the municipality of Las Marias and is home to about 700 people. After the devastation of Hurricane Maria, the community of Bucarabones took recovery matters into their own hands and formed their own community center which has brought an incredible amount of positive change to the community. In addition to helping the community recover after the hurricane, CAMBU has brought a renewed sense of community to the barrio as well as a physical space for community members to participate in workshops. After our service project orientation in the morning, we will begin work on the project.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

      Global Leadership Activities<\/h3>\t\t\t

      Walking Tree Travel has developed tools that will help our travelers mature as global leaders before, during, and after their travel program. These simple, engaging activities are meant to spark discussion, frame the group\u2019s experience, and prepare participants to travel ethically and effectively on our programs now and on their own into the future. Our activities also encourage students to take initiative as leaders in their local communities to make a difference at an immediate level, helping them to understand the impact they can have when they combine cultural understanding with personal and social responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>
