¿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.


VOLUNTARY ACTIVITIES SUMMARY

Peru is a land with wonderful marvels, but with communities in need as well. That’s what we wanted to show to our participants, the real Peruvian face. In order to achieve that, we tried to get them involved in different kind of social works in different places on our way. We included coast and highland communities in different poverty scales. In each place we tried to create an environment of partnership, solidarity and cultural exchange.

The communities visited follow:


Peru SWYAA members, the organizing committee and BWY participants, but especially the people of Chalhuanca, Pisco, El Carmen, Villa Orinojón and Lampayuni are infinitely grateful to all those who supported these voluntary activities, and look forward to your help and cooperation for future ones.
