Experiences
"In this dream, I have traveled many miles to a small village in Peru. To this underprivileged community, I gave a school, my efforts, and my compassion; yet it was I who received the most."
- Ashley Walker, 2007 participant
"Because of this trip, a part of my heart will always be in Peru. The smells and sounds resound in my head forever. I dodn't expect it, but the trip changed me; it changed us all."
