Carmel High School’s Peru Project… A Success!!!

June 21, 2011

Wow… what a week it has been. After two trips to the community of Ccachin, I think
it is safe to say that quite a lot has been accomplished. While the most tangible
accomplishment is certainly the groundbreaking of two new greenhouses, it seems
as though many of the intangibles have been just as impressive. For example, the
bond that instantly formed between the students of Carmel High and Ccachin may
turn out being just as sustainable as the actual greenhouse project. This, along
with working together to carry bricks and rocks, shoveling, laughing, dancing and
singing, I think the only way it could have gone better is if we would have had
more time to spend together in the community. While leaving was emotional for
everybody, the good news is that we are already brainstorming for next summer’s
project.

Thank you Carmel High for being such an integral part of our project in Ccachin. We
had so much fun working with and getting to know you all. All of us with Team Peru
and the Andean Alliance are super excited to see where this road is going to take us,
and we’re certainly looking forward to the next “Peru Project” experience! ~Adam
