  • El Salvador (Women's Soccer) Spring Break 2023 - Kelli Beiler's Story

    April 4, 2023

    What a CRAZY week (cue Humberto’s voice). For real though. What a week. One that felt like a year while at the same time only feeling like a day. It is quite literally impossible to recap all that we saw, heard, and experienced but I will do my best to give you a glimpse into it.

    My team of 12 Lipscomb students and 2 leaders left for Tabacundo, Ecuador on March 10, 2023.

The next morning, our hosts took us to the marketplace in Otavalo – one of the biggest open markets in the world. This was really cool to experience, and we were all very grateful that our hosts could take the time out of their day to show us around.
