The study abroad tour, and corresponding course, is designed to introduce students to the magnificent wonders of Mayan culture past and present and develop a deeper understanding of the issues facing this indigenous population. Our journey will take us to places in and around the indigenous Mayan community of San Lucas Toliman where a significant portion of our time will be spent learning and serving at projects sponsored by the local mission. We will learn about, and serve at the various projects the mission has started, including: reforestation, medical and dental clinics, school, women's center, + others. However, the largest focus of our work will be helping a local family build a new home. Our group will be paired with a local family to begin construction on the house floor/walls/roof while we are visiting. Construction skills are not necessary to help with this project, but what is required is an open-mind to learn the indigenous ways of building and working together on a large project.
Our journey will also include some additional amazing experiences in the other locations we may visit:
- Meeting local artisans, learning about their trade, and shopping for their wares
- Taking a boat tour of Lake Atitlan and visiting some of the other surrounding villages
- Traveling into rural communities (we may attend local markets, help with health and wellness checks, or attend traditional religious services)
- Touring the community of San Lucas Toliman, and meeting local residents
- Plus, much more!
