Preparations

Our family is delighted to return to Peru to lead the Fall Study Service Term.  We directed the program for four semesters in 2009-10 and are thrilled to have an opportunity to live and work in this magnificent country.  We have lots planned:  Something old, something new.  Something borrowed, something blue (or green).  Since arriving earlier this month we have met with our Study Coordinator, Celia Vasquez, and our Service Coordinator, Jherlly Acosta Varillas.   We have reacquainted ourselves with our neighbors in San Isidro and friends at RETO Internacional Hermanos Menonitas Church in Lima.   And we have visited each host family to get a first-hand look at where our students will live.  It’s winter in Lima — overcast skies, moist air and cool temperatures — but spring is around the corner.  And in three days the students arrive!
