Immersion Experience: Peru

DAY 2 - WELCOMED TO THE COMMUNITY

By Elijah Chick-Jones '26, Rakkav Getachew '26, and Luke Zimbelman '26
Jumping into the community in Andahuaylillas
Today, we split into 2 different groups. Group 1 went to primary schools and got involved in different activities like P.E. and classroom assistance. Similarly, Group 2 went to secondary school and helped out in writing a paragraph about healthy and unhealthy habits in an English class and helped in PE class. In the afternoon, Group 1 went to a separate Jesuit Parish in Huaro, one town over, and did after-school activities, sewed heart crafts with students, and shared a snack that the students brought from home to welcome our group. Group 2 stayed at the retreat center, making flowers out of corn leaves and coloring and drawing with kids, as well as participating in bracelet making at a workshop at the parish. Then we came together, had dinner, and saw a ceremony and firework show in the town square in honor of the Virgen del Rosario. Then we reflected on the past day and our experiences before going to bed. Bye!
