The land of mystery, culture and sights beyond words. Just in the last few months, I have had the opportunity to visit and explore, Puno for the biggest festival in all of Peru and even one of the 7th wonders of the world Machu Picchu. Beyond that, this experience has changed and challenged my outlook on life so drastically. With all of the riches, Peru has to offer it is also lacking in many things as well. Here I have had the opportunity to work with many children whom I have been so fortunate to build relationships with. They open their arms readily and eagerly to meet and befriend new people and I am lucky enough to be one of these individuals. We have started to finally see progress with the greenhouse which is amazing. I look forward to being able to continue to grow and learn at this amazing opportunity.
