Although teaching is never the main focus of our trip, we all agree that exposing Peruvian children to a culture apart from their own (at the very least) and gaining knowledge of the English language (our ultimate goal) is time well spent.
This year, Dr. Ivan suggested that we visit a new boarding school – where Peruvian children advanced in learning are specially placed in – to consider teaching there.

The bulk of our time, energy, and effort this summer went toward the continuation of the Cocina Project.
Despite our established presence in the Huanuscuro area and success in construction last year, we encountered several roadblocks in building clean burning stoves in the campo.

The word orphanage carries some heavy baggage along with it. In the States, the concept of a place where children live absent of parental support and guidance is hardly a hopeful thought.
However, during our time in Peru, we encountered an excellent example of how youth can still thrive even after they no longer have contact with their mother and father.
