Pratt student experiences summer service trip to Ecuador

While many people travel to the beach, the mountains, or visit friends and relatives in other places, Pratt High School student Hanna Gordon devoted a good chunk of her July 2024 vacation to serving the disabled population in Ecuador.Interestingly, when she signed up for a service trip through HXP, which is short for Humanitarian Experience Program, Gordon had no idea where she would be going.“They call it a trip lottery because you don’t know which one you’ll get,” said Gordon.Before leaving, she had to acquire a visa and passport, not to mention packing her bags.
