Volunteer Work

My next big event planned so far is to go to Peru in June. I'm going with a group called Peru's Challenge with is an non-profit org based out of Australia. I will be working in Cuzco with one of the projects to create Sustainable Agriculture with the local surrounding villiages. I will also be working with kids in after school programs to help educate the Youth with Agriculture.

I will also be doing some traveling while I'm there including two 4 day backpacking trips to Macchu Picchu and the Inca Ruins. As well as some day hiking trips of the surround jungle areas. And after my stay with the Peru's Challenge is over I will be flying back to Lima and will be staying at a hostile and seeing the sites in Lima and the surrounding area for a few days before I fly back home.

  3. Hi Chase. I'm enjoying following your adventure. I also found Cusco beautiful and the food awesome.

    I felt bad that they wouldn't let you take pics of the catacombs. Pretty interesting place isn't it. They let us take photos so I'll give you my negatives to get prints if you want.

    I haven't been able to find the name of that sculptor. Maybe you can ask some of the locals you meet. I think he is quite famous in Peru. I'd sure love another one of his works.

    Take care of you and enjoy every minute.
