Before highlighting the upcoming trips I would like to share information regarding a service learning trip that transpired over February vacation. Thirty-two students and four chaperones spent a week in Peru.  Students immersed themselves in the culture of Peru, learning about local cuisine, touring the Sacred Valley, and visiting modern and colonial parts of Lima.  In addition, they learned about ancient and contemporary art, explored Machu Picchu as well as other sacred Inca archaeological sites.  The trip culminated in a two day service project at the Yachay Wasi kindergarten.  Below is a link complete with videos and pictures of this amazing trip.
