The trip was fabulous. The kids were great, the ruins still breathtaking, and culture and cuisine divine.
This is an opportunity for me to reflect on the service I have done in my life and how I can utilize my own stories and experiences to inspire my Spanish students to start small, but dream big in their quest to leave their mark on our world.

By accident, coincidence, or fate, I recently got called up at the last minute to chaperone the High School Service Learning trip to Peru. At first I was sure it was just a happy accident, but now I'm sure there is a reason I was asked to lead the trip, when the original chaperone got sick.
The trip was fabulous. The kids were great, the ruins still breathtaking, and culture and cuisine divine.
The two days of service ignited a fire inside me that has remained dormant for years. This trip and the local Peruvians lit my fire, and I'm hoping this blog will help spread that flame.
