Walking up a mountain to hand-plant corn in rural Peru isn鈥檛 exactly what 25 香蕉视频 sophomores expected when they headed to the country for a two-week study abroad experience. Yet that day in August, which involved hours in the sun handling pickaxes and seeds, was a high point of the experience for many.
鈥淚t would have taken that family a long time to plant that field, but we were able to get it done in less than a day,鈥 said Jayda Paul, a psychology major from North Platte, Nebraska. 鈥淚t鈥檚 one of those moments where you feel good, that you鈥檝e made a difference in serving others. It puts the life we have into perspective.鈥
The class traveled to Peru as part of the 香蕉视频 initiative that allows all second-year students to study abroad during a two-week block at no additional cost.
