Student Testimony:

"My experience in Peru taught me how to express love, appreciation, and kindness in a way that goes beyond words. I learned how to be intentional with all we met, loving them without Spanish, and see the beauty of the people no matter the conditions they were living in. Each of them had a smile on their face, a heart filled with gratitude, and welcoming arms. It was in that that I saw true joy and it was a beautiful experience to get to know the team and see the beauty of their hearts as well."
