I have started to get excited about the photo adventure to Peru this time next year (5-16 November)!
Pearce Leal will be accompanying me on the trip and has posted a page on the World Photo Adventures website. I have been thinking a lot about packing down to 7KG of camera gear for this trip (including laptop and tripod) so contact me if you want to discuss this further.

Arequipa - Peru
Arequipa is de derde stad qua inwonertal in Peru. De stad ligt in het zuiden van het land, 1000 km verwijderd van Lima, op een hoogte van 2325 meter boven zeeniveau en ongeveer 300 kilometer ten noorden van de grens met Chili. De Plaza de Armas wordt als één van de mooiste van Peru bevonden; de kathedraal en de talrijke koloniale gebouwen sieren het plein.

Peru is a magical destination, abundant with ancient ruins dating back to the Incas.

Black and white photography has the potential to make any photographer a better photographer.
The most colorful thing in the world is black and white, it contains all colors and at the same time excludes all.

In 2018, USAID launched the second-annual Digital Development Awards (the “Digis”) to recognize USAID projects that harness the power of digital tools and data-driven decision making. The Peruvian Digital Inclusion in the Peruvian Amazon was one of five winners chosen out of the 140 applicants.
From 2013-2017, el Centro de Información y Educación para la Prevención del Abuso de Drogas (CEDRO) built 38 technology centers (telecenters) in the regions of San Martín, Huánuco and Ucayali. To date, CEDRO has increased connectivity in 42 communities. More than 5,000 citizens—58 percent of which are women—received training from the telecenters in digital literacy, and nearly 5,200 women received training in financial literacy.

1- How was the local ABV Coordinator and the support provided in-country?
This trip was the first time I had traveled abroad by myself, and I was a little bit nervous about the logistics. However, I was very pleased to find that the ABV Coordinator (Beatriz) was exceptionally accommodating. Despite flight complications, and several other uncontrollable mishaps, my week in Peru was worry free and successful. A large of which can be attributed to the ABV Coordinator.
2- What was the most surprising thing you experienced?
The most surprising thing for me was the standard of the medical facility and staff. I was expecting far worse! It was a clean building with professional staff. While it is nice to know the patients at my clinic are in good hands, I wish I could have played a more integral role in the medical field.
3- What was most difficult to experience?
The most difficult thing for me was working with the children in the clinic. I was concerned by the conditions in which they lived. The physical environment was quite nice, however, the children lacked personal social attention. At the end of the day, it was hard for me to tear myself away from the kids.
4- Any tips for future volunteers… (clothing, travel, personal items, donations)
Make Machu at least a two day trip.
4.1-Other things volunteers should know:
a.-Don’t carry all your money around with you, even if it is in a money belt.
b.-Buy a map of the city and keep it with you. Study it a little bit if you have time.
c.-You might be surprised by the amazing conversations you can have with completely random people, if take the time to initiate it.
d.-Plan a group dinner with at least some of the other volunteers; it makes living in a foreign country far less lonely.
5- Personal Paragraph (ABV Program Testimonial):
Overall, I absolutely loved my experience in Cusco, Peru. It was definitely the best way I could have spent my one week of spring break. Although I volunteered in a medical setting, I would have liked to been included more in working with patients. That being said, I do feel as though I made a difference in the lives of some – the children. If asked whether or not I would sign up for this trip all over again, I would absolutely say, “Yes.”
