The last survivors,
Lucas and I (Kathryn), are here. Everyone else left for Machu Pichu and we are
left with the responsibility of the wrap up blog post. Overall this experience
was fantastic, I’ve made long lasting relationships with the team members here
and I truly don’t want to leave. The experience of Peruvian construction was
one to test our strength and patience. We didn’t have a clear objective, but laid
the groundwork and foundation for the support wall, as the next DWC team will
be arriving soon after us.
We enjoyed the outreach portion as
well as the outings and adventures we went on throughout the week. Some
highlights were the bike tour along the districts into the coast, the Inca
market, fruit market, visiting the youth market, and simply walking the streets
at night to get churros or crossing the street to get desserts at the little
café.
One thing that will truly stick with
me this trip was how energetic the kids were at the school. They wanted to
always play and although the language barrier was tough, their smiles and
laughter were worth the early mornings and crazy Peruvian traffic. I wouldn’t
exchange this experience for anything and am very grateful for the opportunity
and the people I’ve spent it with.
