Our work here is finished....Almost

What an amazing day in the field!




Today the students completed their last day working with the NGOs in the field. Students working with Awa Maki went to a Qechua village in the mountains and met the local women who spin, weave and create the products sold in Ollyantaytambo and internationally. Students were taught how to make bracelets using local techniques and quickly realized it was a very difficult skill to learn.


Students working with Ayani Wasi went to the Soccma village and led two health campaigns for the local Qechua people. Students discussed the importance of the proper technique of teeth brushing and hand washing. After, students hiked to a beautiful waterfall and had a picnic lunch.


As the day closed, students were debriefed about our big day at Machu Picchu tomorrow. Students then played a quick game of soccer before returning for the evening to their homestays.
