In odd-numbered years, students who have completed at
least two years of Spanish have the opportunity to participate
in a school-led summer language trip to Paraguay and Brazil.
The
purpose of this trip is for students to cultivate a
deeper appreciation of languages and cultures of various
peoples in Paraguay and Brazil and to foster understanding
of the oneness of all humankind under the lordship of
Jesus Christ.
During
the first week and a half the group visits Paraguay's
capital, Asunción, and nearby cities, as well
as traveling north into the Paraguayan Chaco to visit
three of the major Mennonite colonies. In Asunción
students live with Christian families and attend afternoon
classes at the Alberto Schweitzer School.
For
the second week the group travels to Brazil to see the
Iguaçu Falls and Brazil's ecological capital,
the city of Curitiba. The group stays one night at a
beach resort on Ilha do Mel.
Below
are some photos from the Summer 2005 trip.
