¿What's the BUS FOR WORLD YOUTH?

The Bus for World Youth (BWY) is an extension of the Ship for World Youth (SWY) program. It was proposed by the Peruvian delegation as a Post Program Activity on SWY 21 (2009) with the objective of traveling through Peru with the same spirit as the Ship, but on a Bus.

Ex-PYs from all batches can join us to visit Peru and to reassure their commitment with society and leadership through volunteer work and donations. During 14 days, from December the 28th of 2009 to January the 10th of 2010, we will travel to Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco doing touristic visits and voluntary activities to help Peruvian communities. Touristic highlights included in the program are Lima city, Titicaca Lake (Puno) and Machu Picchu (Cusco).

UPDATE: We have uploaded a presentation of the Program. Please, take a look here.


THE ORIGIN

In 2005, five ex-PYs from SWY16 gathered in Peru and spent 15 days traveling and backpacking the country with some Peruvian ex-PYs. They informally called that journey "the Bus for World Youth". Now that we are organizing the official 1st Bus for World Youth Peru, we want to share a video about that "beta" experience... the origin of this new one. Here you will see some of the amazing memories of that journey and the spirit of what we are expecting with this new bus we are organizing for you.
