A student from last year’s trip quoted her experience as the following:
The course consisted of a focus on service learning in Montes Claros,
Minas Gerais, Brazil. Before we left for the trip we did pre-course
work which entailed readings that helped to prepare us for our trip
along with language quizzes to give us a taste of Portuguese. When we
got to Brazil we worked with Instituto Laborearte and Hospital
Universitario Clemente de Faria in order to redo the playground in the
pediatrics ward of the hospital. Through these interactions we were to
become more culturally aware and sensitive.
