Winter Term (January 2013) 3-week study abroad trip to Ecuador

This experience is open to all students, with a focus on global leadership, community change, and service-learning.

During the trip, we’ll spend most of our time in Cuenca with some time at the front-end of the trip in Quito and more time at the back-end in the Amazon Rainforest! Students will be living with a local family while in Cuenca and we would spend some days in a small village called Ayaloma (a beautiful drive to get there) working at a bilingual school.  We would also do some cultural activities (Dancing! Shopping! Cultural sites! The equator! The rainforest!).

Students do NOT need to know Spanish. The cost will be about $2250 (plus the cost of airfare).
