Day of the Student Field Trip - Peru


Here in Peru, the Day of the Student fell on Friday September 23. To celebrate we took Maldonado and Triunfo on a field trip to Quiscos, a park with a natural hot spring about 40 minutes away. The kids, volunteers, and profesoras were in heaven! It was amazing to be able to spend the day playing with the kids, some who have never even been in the water before...we do work in a desert!

The kids were given the afternoon to run around, splash in the water, and to just be kids… and you know it’s a success when not a single kid cried! To eat everyone was provided a lunch as well as fruit, some soda, and something sweet for the ride home. Thanks so much to all the volunteers who participated in this day. Especially, a huge thanks to Phoenix for making it all possible and giving the kids a fun, memorable day.
