Hello, my name is Caroline Bond. I live in Montreal and I am in grade 11. This past summer I earned the opportunity through Lifeworks International to go to Peru for 21 days along with 18 other teens from around the world.
It was an adventure I'll never forget. We worked about eight hours a day on four main service projects in and around the city of Cuzco. These included finishing building a preschool and community centre, constructing ceramic and mud stoves for health, economic and environmental benefits, working at a teenage mother shelter (Casa Mantay), and aiding in a variety of ecotourism projects in the Amazon.
