My name is Angela Maloney and I'm a senior at Ledyard High School. This summer I lived in rural Paraguay, volunteering with Amigos de las Americas and PLAN International. I lead community service projects to prevent deforestation, promote fuel efficient stoves, and improve nutrition. I worked closely with local youth to develop leadership and plant seeds for lasting change.

Today we dug the beds for the garden and made a scarecrow with the younger kids. We learned that we cannot plant the seeds without a fence and they will be receiving a fence after we leave. We had to just leave it the way it was and hopefully the will get the fence on time.

What is AMIGOS all about?
