Urban Ecology Center
ROOTS (Restoring Our Outdoors Together) is a part of Milwaukee's Urban Ecology Center that focuses on restoring native species throughout Milwaukee, especially by reclaiming areas that were previously grass lawns. Our team and other volunteers planted 350 plants, including purple giant hyssop, poke milkweed, and star sedge. Stefan Zeidler from our team said, "One of the things I like about Milwaukee is the large amount of green spaces we have, which is part of improving the city's ecology. The center is trying to propagate native species on the 20 acres of land the center wants to replant, and with 1-2000 plants per acre, they always need volunteers."

Casa del Donante
Part of our international team donated blood at Casa del Donante, the main blood bank in Santiago, Chile. The organization receives blood and platelet donations and distributes them among local hospitals. Reflecting on the experience, our team member Carmen Acuña said, "I knew blood is important for people in need, but I learned that each donation saves three patients' lives. It's painless and doesn't take much time, so I highly recommend this to everyone. You don't need to wait until somebody you know needs your help; you can save someone's life today. They treat you nicely and are very gentle because they know this is an act of love for others and something so precious only our bodies can create."
