Welcome home!!! Welcome home for most I should say. This is being written in an internet cafe in Mendoza (this is Ted writing). I am experiencing a little bit of Latin time...meaning that my plane leaves sometime....just not when it was scheduled nor has there been any advisement of when it might take off. That said, with ash preventing it from leaving, I think I may just take a bus.....
So the last day. Different people did different things. As for me, I travelled with Jess to drop off donations for the group helping the street kids. I had a great meeting there with Elvira (the Directora of Development Tours' non-profit partner in Peru) and discussed the possibility for future projects, including some more possibilities for volunteer educators. As it turns out we already have volunteers from NAIT (many from the group are ready to go back already). And anyone from NAIT reading this...there are LOTS of opporutnities! Email me at tedn@nait.ca
Most of the group took time to relax and even shop. Some people slept after a number of very full days!!!
The follow up to this will be a number of things.
1) More Development Trips!!! Just ask Bev Bruyere (Bev I hope you don´t mind me dropping the name) beverlyb@nait.ca . I heard rumblings that she and her husband are ready to go with Jess, our mighty leader, to Rwanda in April 2012.
I am also wanting to take a group of students down to Peru in May as well. If anyone reading this is interested or wants to help out please let me know!
And yes, I am also putting in a plug here for my friend and Development Tours owner Jess Rothenburger. The experience he offers is one of a kind....you won´t come back the same person as when you left.
2) A NAIT - Peru Connection There are a lot of opportunities for educators in Peru for NAIT teachers to volunteer. I have had some great conversations with groups in Peru regarding what they need and where we can help. I will be upfront....NAIT folks can expect to hear from us! If you have any interest at all email me at tedn@nait.ca
3) Permanent NAIT Projects Some of the business instructors (Irene, Gerta I am looking at you) are thinking of ways to get involved by including NGO education into our program. Is there an opportunity to have an ongoing Peru project that our students can take part in?
4) Photo Page I poromise to set this up as soon as possible so that everyone on the trip can share their photos.
In the meantime, I am going to do a Testimonials/Comments post after this. PLEASE those on the trip if you could leave a couple of sentences regarding your experience, either positive or negative, for others to read. And those whom have been following along please leave questions! I know I am curious and I know that Jess would love the feedback.
Thanks for a great trip folks!
