Mercy Corps Visit - SC

today at school we were having a field trip to mercy corp, a non-governmental organization-NGO. We took the TriMet Max down to the building of mercy corp where we started our field trip. At mercy corp we learned about what they do and their reasons behind it. We got to see some of their really cool equipment, and we also watched a couple of videos. I learned that they help those in poverty, moderate poverty, and extreme poverty. We watched videos on the people they help, the life's of those people, and the opinions of those people. Then we split up into groups of 4 and did a fun little activity. we did a small worksheet type of thing and then they gave us a small tour around the building. I had a lot of fun on the field trip and so did everyone else. When they were done we had lunch and left. I hope we can go back some day.
