It's Wednesday, and we have only a few short days before the Ensworth trip to Peru begins. Students and families are making decisions about what to pack and finishing up the readings for Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson, and High Noon by Jean-François Rischard, World Bank vice-president for Europe. The faculty instructors are busy assigning students to homestays, checking and rechecking details, all the while getting packed themselves. All the last minute details are being attended to by World Leadership School staffers.
In Cusco, which is not far from Ollantaytambo, we're expected to have partly cloudy weather on our day of arrival, at around 71 degrees...but at night it drops down to about 36, so pack those long johns! We'll make sure to update this blog as much as we can, at least every other day. Each student will have the opportunity to post at least once. In the meantime, you can get a glimpse of some of the adventures awaiting us all by watching the Groton School's video of their Peru trip from 2008.

The mission of the World Leadership School is to unite young people around the world’s most pressing problems and empower them to become leaders. We use volunteering as a platform for teaching global issues and leadership.
World Leadership School partners with schools to offer 1-4 week service learning trips to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Belize, Peru and the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Each program is custom-fit to the needs of each school but includes the following key elements: On a World Leadership School trip, students focus on a single global issue like climate change or poverty. Students advance from understanding to action by working alongside inspiring local leaders who are doing something about these problems. Along the way, students will look inside themselves and begin a personal leadership journey. |
