In May this year, a group of nine education students from the University of Adelaide are venturing to Peru for five weeks to carry out a community education project as part of their degree.
While on placement, students will have the chance to teach social sciences, sport, English and other languages to students in local primary and secondary schools.
The team will also try their hand at some construction work aiming to improve educational facilities in local schools and provide additional incentive for children to continue their education.
This trip is proving particularly exciting for student Eliza Box who hasn’t previously travelled overseas.
“I can’t wait to experiencing another culture and be immersed in their language, foods, rituals and traditions,” Eliza said.
Eliza also said she’s feeling a little bit anxious about travelling overseas without her family.
“This will be my first overseas trip, and I'm nervous about doing it without any of my close friends or family,” Eliza said.
“However, I know that the more challenging the trip is, the more I will have to gain from it.”
So best of luck to our Adelaide University students. We can’t wait to hear all about it once you get back!
