Students have had their work cut out for them, teaching for four hours in the morning and then getting their hands dirty with some construction work in the afternoon.
However, it looks like the hard work is paying off. Project supervisor, Jane Gavel, has already noticed a positive change in how the students are teaching.
“They are really improving with their lessons, how they plan and their confidence and methods with the local kids.”
The local teachers have also been very impressed with the quality of the lessons and the subjects students are teaching.
Adelaide University students have also learned a lot from the local Peruvian teachers.
“Local staff have been providing students with some great advice as to how to work more closely with the kids and gain their respect so they are all concentrating throughout the whole lesson.”
As well as teaching, students are working on a construction project to build a greenhouse for the local community.
The project was originally supposed to take five weeks. However, the group has been working so well, it may be finished one or two weeks ahead of schedule.
This has left the group plenty of extra time to make the most the surrounding area.
Four members of the group went paragliding over the Sacred Valley last week and they are all off to Machu Picchu for two days over next weekend.
