Bolivia 2013
Service Location: Santa Cruz, Bolivia Trip Start Point: Miami (MIA) at approx. 11:30PM* *Please do not purchase your domestic airfare until notified by HEFY. Payments, Included Costs & Cancellations | Overview The sights and scenes of Bolivia's landscapes are enough alone to change anyone's life. This Spanish speaking country includes the stunning peaks of the Andes Mountains, the beauty of Lake Titicaca, and the thick jungles of the Amazon. The majority of Bolivia's population is indigenous people who have inhabited the country for generations. In addition to playing lots of soccer with the locals and swimming in waterholes in the tropical jungle, you will get to see Machu Picchu, otherwise known as the ancient "Lost City of the Incas." We will make the powerful journey to Machu Picchu, Peru before heading off to our main destination of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. As one of South America's poorest countries, Bolivia is in great need of humanitarian assistance. We will serve in a small town on the outskirts of Santa Cruz where many people live in lean-to homes made of various scraps of material, and where families are often unable to send their children to schools that are too far away. The community members are anxiously waiting for the HEFY groups to help complete the building of a school that they started three years ago but never finished, leaving the walls to crumble and their hopes for a school to diminish. In addition to helping all the children of this community, you will be able to make friends with the many LDS youth in the area of Santa Cruz. The many ward and youth activities in Bolivia will strengthen your testimony of the Gospel and help prepare you for missions, college, families, and future callings.
