Just two more days in Ollantaytambo

Today our group split up and visited two NGOs.  Students selected where they preferred to specifically learn more.  One group stayed in town and learned more about the business end (marketing of products--website and blog but also finances and design).  The other NGO provided students a chance to drive up into a high village and shadow doctors as they did house visits.  You can see a few pictures below.  Tomorrow, both groups will head to a small community where they will both teach about hygiene (using posters students created this afternoon) and also will see sustainable business practices in action.

This afternoon we did a host of team building games (also can be seen in a few photos below).  Tonight is the last night with house families as tomorrow afternoon we will have a traditional dinner as a group (along with host families and the NGOs).  Then, we'll sleep all together in a hotel.  It's beginning to feel like the travel is coming to a close.  We've enjoyed hearing from several students how they've taken time on their own to journal their thoughts.  No doubt everyone will return having grown from the experience.
