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 taught a charla about dental hygiene and distributed toothbrushes. We also taught them how to make their own toothbrushes, how to brush their teeth and the importance of dental hygiene. They were very thankful to the Ledyard High School Key Club for getting all of the donations.

What is AMIGOS all about?
