Jordyn Sample's photos from Costa Rica

This picture was taken at the Tamalada held at the Costa Rica Center; to me, this picture represents community and the relationships we leave behind in places that we've visited.

This picture is of a river in Boruca, Costa Rica; this picture was inspired by my reading The Hobbit after which I saw the forest as a magical place.

This picture is of a bus ride from Boruca, Costa Rica to Buenos Aires, Costa Rica that I took during my 2 week independent study; I took this picture because it represents some of the interesting experiences we are confronted with in our travels of the world.

This picture is of the Talamanca mountains from a cliff in Boruca, Costa Rica; I liked this picture because the I found the nature extending as far as the eye can see to be inspiring.

Melannie Levine's photos from Africa and the USA

A wonderful evening spent with Friends World alumni and, soon-to-be, the first Global College alumni in Brooklyn, New York!


Having only just arrived into the United States two days prior (coming from Uganda), Brooklyn greeted me like it is the new Winter Wonderland. This picture was taken right outside of the place I have been living at for this semester.


A few of President Museveni's supporters resting after a full day of rallying.


At the time that I took this photo, President Yoweri Museveni had been in power in Uganda for over 25 years. This rally took place in the Mbale region where I was living for my Independent Study semester. Several months later, the results came back that Museveni won the presidential election again...for his 6th term in office.


A few students like Molly decided to spend a Sunday with Harlem Grown in Harlem, New York clearing and bettering a city garden.
