Description of Work
The Communities and Cultures of Peru describes the experience of Honors students during the spring semester study abroad of 2017. Students had the opportunity to visit several local communities along the Sacred Valley, in the area north of Cusco, Peru. While visiting these communities, they learned about their lives, economic and social situation. As part of this experience, students raised money in the United States and select a community project where to invest, in order to improve the community’s living conditions. We also partnered with Oceanside-Rotary Club in Jacksonville to raise additional funds for this project. This book describes the students’ adventures in Peru and presents some of the projects funded in earlier study abroad programs. The images, stories and student quotes in this book depict the experience abroad and highlight some of the most important events of the program. Across these pages, the reader will get in close contact with the different people of Peru, their culture, landscapes and heritage —and will be able to understand the emotions and experiences of UNF students visiting Peru for the first time.
