In reviewing again our day at Machu Picchu yesterday and the Despacho ceremony the day before, many in our group commented on how the culture of Peru, the power of history, and the warmth and ingenuity of the people of Peru seem to flow through everything here. This being a trip also about global leadership, as we begin to turn our thoughts to leadership qualities, these traits (culture, connection to what we know, and warmth) and others are on our minds.
Today, students had the opportunity to learn much more about leadership through their work with their chosen NGOs. Some students have chosen to work with Awamaki (a weaving collective), some with Kuska School, and some with Sacred Valley Health Clinic.
Below are some pictures from the work done at Kuska School today (cleaning a creek channel, working in the school garden, cleaning the gazebo, sketching a mural to be painted with the Kuska students later this week, and playing with the Kuska students), and some pictures of a basket weaving lesson. Look for some pictures and reports on Sacred Valley Health Clinic tomorrow after they travel to some villages beyond Ollantaytambo to teach about dental care!
