ICD Travels to Peru and the Philippines
ICD Travels to Peru
By Arti Desai
Intricate Incan ruins, magnificent Machu Picchu, heartwarming homestays - from the capital city of Lima to the historic site of Cusco and to our field site in Tuni Grande; Peru is filled with mesmerizing contrasts between traditional and modern influences. My experience in Peru this past summer as part of the Global Health Integrated Community Development (ICD) teaching team was a journey that neither classroom nor books could teach. As a recent graduate of the Global Health program I had the unique opportunity to serve as a course facilitator in Peru.
