Hola Readers!
After multiple viewings of Air Canada's safety video we can assure you that we are all a bit more educated about the art of flying and can recite 'How To' do up an individuals seat belt in "English, Spanish, Korean, Italian and Arabic".
Our first meeting all together was only two days ago but we are doing a fantastic job melding and becoming a team! At orientation we went over: safety, health and wellness, where we will be staying and how we will be documenting our trip. Throughout this excursion we will be creating podcasts, video diaries, updating this blog and finally creating footage for our documentary. During orientation we had the opportunity to meet Christoph, the project director from 'Light Up the World', an NGO that is working towards making electricity more accessible to communities in the rural areas in Peru. Unfortunately due to logistics and timing we are not able to visit Light Up the World's current projects but the presentation gave us a great insight into the work that they do and the importance of sustainable and affordable electricity.
Now that we are in Bogota with only one flight left we are going to grab some snacks and maybe some sleep. A huge thank you to Diana, Richie, Scott and Heather for all your help in preparing us for this exciting, amazing trip! Also thank you to Carly for the drive and to our parents for all their support.
Stay tuned for updates once we get to Peru!
