And how privileged we are to enjoy what nature and culture have created in this country. The beauty of nature, the beauty of the culture. But at the same time, we have been able to learn so much. Learn from each other in the group, learn from the presenters, learn from the different people we have met, learn from the many places we have visited. School leadership, geography, school life, government role, wealth, poverty, coastal malls, Andean valleys, the variety of topics, knowledge, and of course the food! And with them the many contrasts that make Peru an amazing place. As one of our group members put it, this trip has led "to experiences that I will never have again."<br />
<br />
During our last days in Peru, we have had a chance to visit one of the new Seven Wonders of the World--Machu Picchu. In prior postings, you have had a taste of this magnificent Inka site, both through the narrative of the group members as well as through their eyes--and their cameras--capturing every single angle that can just start to communicate to you the beauty of this place. Similarly, the ruins of the sacred place of Sacsayhuaman, just outside the city of Cusco. As thrilling, yet in a different dimension, the Spanish legacy in the city, with its layout, its churches, and what it meant--the destruction of any reminder of the Inka culture and the further humiliation of building on top of sacred places. All in all, a coexistence of two worlds--or more.<br />

views overlooking the city below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
learned that the people of Saqsayhuaman were masters at moving water throughout
the site using a water storage area and a system of channels to keep water
flowing even during the dry season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
Upon our return to the city, we stopped at a local market and
supported the economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the market,
we headed back to the main square of the town, which was full of song and dance
as today was a day of celebration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next,
we headed to lunch and to support the World Cup soccer teams. Our group had
members supporting both teams. Watching the World Cup in Peru is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>like watching the Super Bowl in America.</span><br />

Ever since learning of the mysterious and legendary place, I have only dreamed
of visiting Machu Picchu. Today, my dream became a reality. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="font-size: large;">We began our trek with departing from our hotel at 5:15 in
the morning. Santos, our bus driver, drove us through the countryside of Cusco.
While many members of the group were tired, I was too excited to sleep and was
amazed by the majestic scenery of the mountains. After the bus ride, we arrived
in a small village called Ollantaytambo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there was boarded the Inca Rail, a 90
minute train ride. Upon arrival, just when everyone thought we would finally
arrive at our destination, we then again took one more bus ride for 20 minutes.
We finally arrived at Machu Picchu at approximately 8:45 in the morning. We
were greeted by our tour guide, Alex, whose ancestors were once the Incan
people lived in the villages surrounding Machu Picchu and constructed Machu
Picchu. As we walked up the pebble stone pathway and lush blanket of vegetation
along the pathway,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>my excitement grew as
I realized we were moments away from seeing one of the 7 New Wonders of the
World.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And there it was, Machu Picchu
laid before my eyes. Words cannot explain the immense beauty of the landscape. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was absolutely speechless as water filled my
eyes and little tears ran down my cheeks. All I could say was “Qué lindo!”
(“How beautiful!”).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex shared with us
his vast knowledge of the ancient civilization that allowed us to better
understand the purpose every structure. After we took a break for lunch,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah, Carla, Ashley, Dr. Aliaga, and myself
decided to continue the journey and hike further up to see the best view of
Machu Picchu. The pictures do not give it justice. The sight of the
breathtaking scene are 1,000 times more gorgeous in person. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

leave, I am excited to continue our journey throughout Peru.</span></span></div>

Andina.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then visited one of the oldest
school in the country of Peru, Colegio Nacional de Ciencias.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The school is located in the historical
center of Cusco and dates back to colonial times, originally created in 1619, and re-founded as Cilegio Nacional de Ciencias by Simón Bolívar in 1825.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We visited with Mr. Renan Quispe, Principal,
and six other members of his administrative staff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The staff explained the three levels of the
school: primary, secondary, and an alternative primary education for working
students to complete their education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
quickly learned that one of the main objectives of the school was to keep
strong contact with the community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
school leaders described a ritual centered on skills, strength, and community
called Warachikuy in which eighteen year olds expressed cultural traditions and
the physical, intellectual, and artistic skills necessary to lead people in
this coming of age test.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">After our discussions, we toured the school, visiting students in their
last year of the secondary level and awaiting graduation in December.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We visited a science lab, history classroom
filled with artifacts from pre-Inca civilization, and the music room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We observed students at play during recess
and in preparation for a formal mass being held in honor of three faculty
members who were struggling with medical conditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were saddened by the lack of resources in
this school – limited and outdated books; lack of basic supplies such as paper,
pencils, and chalk; broken and dilapidated desks; and dusty hallways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, we were awestruck by the passion and
determination of the educators within who worked tirelessly to provide an
education and opportunity for a better life for their students.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">After lunch at Inka Grill, we toured Qorikancha, Covento de Santo
Domingo Del Cusco.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Qorikancha is a site
of Inca ruins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Spanish invaded and destroyed
the Incan temple, Temple of the Sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
added humiliation, the Spanish constructed their own sanctuary, Santo Domingo,
in its place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The site contains some of
the original Incan archeology, amazing stone structures, with each stone placed
perfectly without the need for plaster in between the stones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The grounds were beautiful!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Our group took time to pause and reflect on what has been a whirlwind
eight days and discuss some of the emerging themes we have been seeing with
regard to education and their application to the U.S. context.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each member of our group led ten minute
discussions on topics that included technology implementation, exploration of
public and appropriate education, disparities among subgroups, assessment and
accountability, special education, inequality and quality, and informal and
formal systems of the economy.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">We rounded out our day with a fabulous dinner at Incanto and are all
shortly headed to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have an early
day tomorrow, beginning at 5:00am as we trek to Machu Picchu, one of the 7
wonders of the ancient world!</span></span></div>

After breakfast
the group separated into several taxis and headed to the Inka Market. We arrived
about 15 minutes early and a few if us took a stroll around the block. Once we
circled back around, the gates to the main entrance were open for business. Some
of us paired off and headed into different directions to look at the numerous
objects. Everyone eventually bought souvenirs and trinkets for family and
friends. After visiting the market,we went back to the hotel to get our bags so
we could board a plane going to Machu Picchu. We barely made the plane to Cusco,
but we arrived safely and the mountainside landscape is magnificent. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today was another great day in Lima, Peru.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meredith and Dr. Pentecost had to say
farewell to the wonderful students, faculty and staff at the Colegio Nuestra Señora del Carmen
(Carmelitas School).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The doctorate
students had another visit at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru where
we heard a presentation from Jos</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">é</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Carlos Vera.</span><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">He discussed the current issues with decentralization and the impact on
education.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">It was amazing to hear the
similarities between the practices and barriers to education in both Peru and
the United States.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">We took a tour of the campus and Dr. Aliaga was able to see
former colleagues and friends and show us where he studied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a headache and spotted a vending
machine on the tour and it made my day! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next we heard from Ms. Carmen Diaz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She discussed how a principal gets appointed
as a principal in Peru and the issues surrounding the current practices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She discussed how to link the educational
content to a business approach and discussed six approaches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next we visited the Juana Alarco de Dammert school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a public (all girls) school with an
enrollment of 2,000 students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
all amazed the moment we walked through the gates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students and faculty gave us a warm
welcoming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The school has two sessions
because students only go to school for 5 hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The playground area was enormous!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The students in the secondary school took a culinary class where they
were making homemade empanadas!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
school also had an Olympic size swimming pool for the girls to take
lessons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also visited a class where
parents were learning how to teach help their child at home with
mathematics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a great time
teaching the girls how to put their “Ls” up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Dr. Jean-Marie was tracked down by a group of girls asking her to take a
“selfie” with them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We finished the day with a wonderful dinner at La Rosa
Nautica.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The restaurant is built on top
of the ocean and we were able to enjoy our meal with the sound of waves
crashing against the pier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The view was
breathtaking and the meal was amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">We are excited about our trip to Cusco tomorrow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay tuned to find out what we experience
tomorrow! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today the education leadership group had a very productive day traveling to the Catholic
University, the alma mater our one of our professors. We had two great
presentations discussing the current trends in educational policy as well as
in research for Peru. We are beginning to see many similarities between needs
for low performing students in JCPS and the rural areas of Peru. It is amazing
that these needs are reversed in location: the Peruvian education system is
working to address needs in rural districts whereas JCPS leaders are researching
methods for urban education.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Some members of the group travelled to the ocean tonight after an exciting
meal watching Germany beat Brazil in the World Cup. It was a great experience to
see this match in a country were soccer is such a prominent sport! Although we
have had a very long day, it was full of great experiences both in our work and
our cultural exploration of this country!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The elementary education group continued our time in the Colegio Nuestra Señora del Carmen school. Our day began with a field trip with 80 5th graders to the Planetarium. We came back in time for lunch with the teachers that we have been working with this week. The whole staff is very friendly and thoughtful. Meredith and I have quickly settled into a routine of working with classes. In the afternoon, the second grade teacher invited us down for a hands-on project with the class. The students had been working on a project about fish and their body structure. They had hypothesized about location of organs and internal structure. On each table was gloves and a fish about 15 inches long. They examined the external components of the fish and drew pictures of the fish. Then the teachers proceeded to dissect each of the fish and helped the students to locate internal organs. The students were great. We finished our day in a 5th grade English class. We celebrated Germany's first five goals with a taxi driver who was listening to the match on his radio. We all yelled, laughed, shook our heads, and had a great time on the ride back to the hotel. The only word that I understood was "Loco," which even I can translate. Dinner by the sea completed our evening. Looking forward to our final day at our school! </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">Feliz Dia del Maestro! Yesterday, Sunday, July 6 was
Teachers’ Day in Peru, so it was celebrated in schools on Monday. We visited
two schools in Lima, the Universidad del Pacifico which is a Jesuit college
specializing in the business field, and the Colegio Nuestra Señora del Carmen, a
private Catholic elementary school--known as Carmelitas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both
were wonderfully hospitable and allowed us to get a real glimpse into the
education system here in Peru. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;">At the Universidad del Pacifico, we learned much about the
socio-economic aspects of Peru from Dr. Vanina Farber, the Chair of Sustainable
Entrepreneurship and Social Inclusion, and an overview of the education system
including student testing and teacher evaluation from former Vice-Minister of
Education, Mr. Martín Vegas. Peru has one of the fastest growing economies (up
75% since 2002) in Latin America, yet it is in the bottom three for educational
achievement. Despite the sustained growth of 6.5% in GDP yearly, only 3.1% has
allocated to education for the last 10 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Overall, there has been vast improvements in Peru: low inflation, increased
stabilization, lower the public debt, widening of the middle class, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>increased employment and exports, increased
enrollment and accessibility to education, and narrowing of the gender gap in
education. They have accomplished a lot in the last several years, but also
have a ways to go. Child labor, “decent work” levels, multidimensional poverty
, and disparity between rural and urban schools were areas mentioned as needing

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">When discussing the economy, Dr. Farber, expertly explained the
rampant informal economy of Peru that comprises over 70% of the employment and
contributes to growth of the ‘working poor’ class. These are workers providing
house cleaning, taxi service, and others services without “decent work” levels
such as contracts, health care, pensions, minimum wage and controlled working
hours. Such ‘informal’ practices are part of the cultural norms and continue to
contribute to the economic and educational divide. It was surprising to see the
class break downs were labeled: not poverty, poverty and extreme poverty. Also the
rate of multidimensional poverty—those without electricity, health services and
potable water—is 36.6%, with the majority in the rural areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Farber has had some affiliation with
ViewChange.org with the belief that the people, especially women, can be
empowered through education.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Mr. Vegas provided us an overview of the three levels of the
basic education in Peru: Initial (preschool), Primaria (K- 5) and Secundaria (5
year program equivalent to middle school and high school). Peru has over <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>13 million student in basic education, 104,467
schools (78,590 urban and 25,877 rural) and over 510,474 teachers (407,776
urban public, 107,698 rural public and 167,325 private) making it one of the
largest school systems in Latin America. These totals include both public and
private schools as<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>prior to 2000,
private institutions were primarily responsible for education as the country
was in political and economic crisis. He explained that even though educational
accessibility has increased (more schools, more students, more teachers), the
budget has remained the same. The average spending per student in Latin
American countries is $5,000; in Peru it is $929. The challenge today is to
provide equitable and quality education for all Peruvians. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;">We learned that the school calendar is March 1 through
December 20, with a two-week break in July. The typical school day in a public
school is 4 hours, as some schools and teachers have to have two and three
sessions to all students can attend. Although the cap size for a classroom is
25 in primary and 30 in secondary schools, urban classrooms often exceed the
amount and rural schools may only have 5 students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teacher preparation is a 5 year program at a
technical college, and at this time there is no extra training for principals
except that they have at least a level 4 (more years experience). Beginning
salaries for teachers who work 24 or 36-hour weeks is approximately $450 per
month, with those with 15 years of experience making $1200 per month. Due to
the low pay, teachers often have to have<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>part-time jobs as tutors. Currently, only second grade students are
tested in math and reading, in 2013, 33% met reading comprehension competence
and 16.8% met math comprehension competence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Some changes coming soon are the addition of 6<sup>th</sup>
grade testing, an optional master’s level program for principal training, and a
meritocratic system for teacher and principal promotion/retention. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The national evaluation which includes a test
for teachers on classroom management and pedagogical knowledge has been met
with differing viewpoints from new vs. experienced teachers as well as some
derision by principals who are currently suing the government as they have to now
earn (not be appointed) their positions. Student performance is not included in
the evaluation process as there is not evaluation of students at all grade
levels and a student score cannot be assigned to just one teacher. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Our day ended at the Colegio Nuestra Señora del Carmen. This
charming Catholic parochial, private school is led by Norma Soberón who has served
as principal for 12 years in her 33-year career with the Carmelites. In the
last three years, the school and its 60 teachers have gone through a
pedagogical transformation from a traditional program to one that is now more
child-centered, project-based and inquiry driven using the philosophy and
methodologies of Reggio Emilia. The social-emotional growth of students and
their communication skills appear to play an important role in the daily
instruction. The school is dual-language (Spanish and English) and teachers
work in pairs of English and Spanish speakers; Math taught in Spanish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a religious-based school, they only enroll
Catholic students and hire Catholic teachers. The overall sense of this school
is well-organized with open communication and shared leadership among the staff
and administration. It was delightful to watch dismissal with parents coming to
the rooms to pick up their child and teachers giving students hugs and kisses
good-bye as well as some after-school extra-curricular activities that included
art, dance and physical education.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">Lastly, to culminate our evening, we dined at Madam Tusan, a
well-known Chifa restaurant in Lima. Chifa is one of the many delicious types
of cuisines found in Lima. It is a fusion of Chinese and Peruvian food.
Unfortunately for me, it was not enjoyed for long, for a soon after falling
asleep Atahualpa’s Revenge (the Peruvian version of Montezuma’s) was upon
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily, I am making a speedy
recovery so I can get out an experience more of Peru.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Meredith and I arrived at Colegio Nuestra Senora del Carmen school in Miraflores district. We were warmly welcomed by the Principal Ms. Soberon, the staff, teachers and students at the school. The hospitality and genuine thoughtfulness for our visit was heartwarming. We spent our time with the English teachers of the 5th grade students. The students had great questions and responses to our questions of them. Their natural curiosity and willingness to teach us about their school, community, local foods, and the World Cup made for great conversations. It was inspiring to watch the teachers with the children at the school and the respect that the students have for their teachers. In all, we had a great day and look forward to our field trip with 1/2 of the 5th grade tomorrow. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">More photos and a blog from the leadership group will be ready by tomorrow. Stay tuned, and thanks for following our blog!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another great day in Peru! We started off having breakfast by the sea. We
are loving trying all of the local dishes. We enjoyed our time viewing the
exhibits at the Museo Rafael Larco Herrera. Who knew our U of L student ideas
even work for a discount in South America. We had a lovely lunch in the museum
garden. The corn pie was a crowd pleaser. We walked off lunch in a local park
and enjoyed some local music in the open air. Next we took a double decker bus
tour on the MiraBus. It was a great way to get a birds eye view of Miraflores.
We need to get some sleep for another full day tomorrow.</span></div>

The food and the scenery were extraordinary! Everyone loved sampling some of the Peruvian specialties, and feeling the breeze as we ate on a cliff overlooking the sea.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The taxi ride to the historic district gave us many insights as to how the people in Lima live and work. It is a city struggling to overcome some hardships in the past, but it is growing and thriving. Each district celebrates it's area with lovely shrubbery/flowers growing on a hillside shaped in the name of that district. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For our walking tour of the historic district, we were able to see the Plaza Mayor which is very distinctive and has interesting architecture. The Palacio de Gobierno (Presidential Palace) was beautiful. We were not able to see the changing of the guard, but the young guards stood at attention with great pride. Other sights included the Cathedral, the Museum of Religious Art and Treasures, the Archbishop's Palace, Municipal buildings, the old train station, the old church of San Augustin, the church and monastery at San Francisco where we also toured and saw the Catacombs Museum. When we arrived at the church of San Pedro (where Oscar was married), a car pulled up and out stepped a lovely bride and her father. The church is open to the community even during weddings, so we became the Peruvian "wedding crashers" and watched the festivities for a while. Other highlights included watching the end of a World Cup match in a South American country with locals and a lovely dinner at the Haiti restaurant. It was a full and interesting day. We are all excited to see what today brings.</span><br />

Hi!<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
We are getting there. And everyone is excited and waiting for departure time. We have had pre-departure classes, and assignments in preparation for our trip. But as important, we have had long and interesting chats with the group members, looking at maps, checking places, enjoying pictures, and, surely, talking about food.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, while visiting with us, we took some pictures in random order.</div>

preparation and ECEE programs are ready for a journey that will take us to the
coastal city of Lima and the Andean city of Cusco, in Peru. They will be
learning about international perspectives of leadership preparation with
emphasis on leadership development, as well as primary education in Peru.
Moreover, they will expand their understanding of these topics in a different
context—Cusco—where the majority of the population speaks Quechua. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> In our work we will have constant interaction with faculty and scholars at the Catholic University, and the University of the Pacific, as well as other institutions. We will also </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">be</span><span style="font-size: 15px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">visiting local schools, as well as having interviews with local educational administrators. In Cusco, we will pay a visit to one of the oldest secondary schools in the country--the Colegio de Ciencias.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> In addition to these academic activities, our learning will be enhanced by our visit to the colonial and modern parts of Lima, a city on the Pacific coast re-founded by the Spaniards in 1535. Lima has been proclaimed a World Heritage Centre by the UNESCO. While in Cusco we will visit the "lost city of the Incas," the sanctuary of Machu Picchu (Old Mountain, in Quechua,) also a World Heritage Centre and one of the seven Wonders of the World. In addition, we will have a day visit to Ollantaytambo.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> We have a very motivated group, and participants include </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Deborah Rivera, Stephanie Nutter, Cabrina Bosco,
LaRhondolyn Mathies, Ashley Forrest, Carla Kolodey, Sarah Hitchings, and
Meredith Henson</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, led by Dr. Gaetane Jean-Marie, Dr. Margaret
Pentecost, and Dr. Oscar A. Aliaga.</span></span><br />
