Viaje a Cusco - Trip to Cusco

At the Camelidos zoo..en el zoologico de camelidos

Good Evening, today, I´d like to share with you some of the highlights of our Cusco trip...we had a BLAST! We did everything from visiting a Camelidos zoo, to going to the theater twice, to visiting a Planetary (where kids saw Saturn, Jupiter, the Southern Cross, and the Scorpion Constelation), went to the sacred valley, were part of two educational-cultural exchanges with Pucllasunchis School in Cusco centro and Proyecto Social Amaru in Coya, did workshops at the Garcilazo theater with the guys from Kusikay, visited museums, and lots and lots more...

Hello Marek...thanks for taking the time to visit my blog..and thank you and your kids for helping me make our Cusco trip a reality with your donation...Actually all the pictures that were taken arent up yet...I am waiting for friends to forward those to me since i dont actually have a camara of my own...i know...i will get one as soon as I can...the trip was truly a dream come true for all and my kids saw things they never imagined...I had all my kids write about their trip experience and one of their stories will be published in Chincha in a local magazine...my kids came back to Chincha with such energy, with their eyes filled with a fire no one can turn off, they are all closer friends now, more confident, different in a most wonderful way...I hope ou can meet these kids one day in Chincha..mi casa es tu casa y la de tus niños tambien siempre! Gracias a ustedes por ayudarme a hacer los sueños de mis niños una realidad...abrazos, Mayten
