We had a great adventure in Peru!

In summer 2019, a group of students, a parent and Dr, Olivia Salcido and Dr. Jaime Cardoso immersed in the land and culture of Peru. We connected with local communities in the Sacred Valley and learned how they preserve history, art and their heritage. We were able to contemplate the breathtaking views of the Andes and we marveled at Machu Picchu from above and walked through its buildings. We spent two days working in a local community on projects that support sustainable women economic endeavors. We made around 200 adobe bricks that will be used to construct a building where women will have a workshop and their meetings.

We had a great adventure in Costa Rica!

In the summer 2018, a group of TPA students, Dr. Olivia Salcido and Dr. Jaime Cardoso visited Costa Rica. It was an exciting experience! The group traveled from the Atlantic coast (Caribbean) to the Pacific. On the way, we visited several places in the forest, observed interesting animal species (monkeys, crocodiles, birds and reptiles), interacted with native people and learned their culture including food, music, dance, and customs.
