Summer 2018 Participant
It was an honor to be able to observe and interact with the families at CASP, and their persistence and determination to the program was humbling to watch.

The most rewarding element of this program was honestly the cultural immersion and learning so much about the history. I took Spanish here at KU and I would definitely recommend having some exposure in order to feel more comfortable on this trip. A large focus of the Spanish courses here at KU are the cultural aspects, hearing it all from a professor here, and actually visiting South America and seeing it all in action is inspiring and beautiful. There was also a decent amount of hiking/walking around in ruins, getting to the top of the hill between Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu was so rewarding-- just like the surreal views!

My favorite part of this program was visiting Mundo Libre. To see how a program such as the one set up in this facility sparked an interest in exploring more of the options we have like it here in the United States.
