Schedule

A comprehensive schedule of activities has been developed for the group including participation in Esperanza’s Home Building project, visits to a local children’s hospital, an orphanage, the Esperanza Health center, the Cultural Center, a local university, the public market and the Ecopark. Additionally, there will be two day-long excursions to Tecate and Ensenada. Students will be required to travel together as a group and will participate in all activities together.

On the last night in La Gloria, the staff at The Posada will hold a farewell Fiesta for the group. Students will participate in the Fiesta preparations and then enjoy good food and music with The Posada staff and if possible the families they assisted with the Home Building Project.

The tentative 11-day schedule for the Summer 2008 trip appears below:
