¿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 ACTIVITY: CHALHUANCA (AREQUIPA)

Chalhuanca is located near the “Colca Canyon”, the most important tourist attraction in Arequipa because it is known to be the second deepest canyon in the world. In spite of that, few people come to visit Chalhuanca. The community is isolated and forgotten, and a large proportion of the population lives in poverty. During winter season, this village is one of the most affected by the cold temperature that sometimes can reach below -20 C.

January 2nd, 2010:
The group spent the morning sharing with the children of the local school of Chalhuanca: I.E. N° 40399 "Juan Velasco Alvarado” and provided them with warm clothes for the winter. The local children recited poems and danced with traditional costumes for us. Two BWY participants had the opportunity to wear traditional clothes during the hours we stayed in here.

  1. Capitalize on Best Price Guarantees Do not quit seeking out deals after you buy from a third party vendor.
    Remember, mere access to trustworthy suppliers and profitable product deals cannot make you
    successful in e-commerce business. Few years back,
    you could have been in trouble but thanks to the online shopping site, buying anything and on anytime is no longer an issue.
