A look inside...

The lives of Wesleyan students abroad are rich with complex personal and intellectual experiences.  Several students have chosen some photographs to give you a glimpse of the varied and fascinating - and fun! - memories that they carry with them every day.  We hope to constantly expand this photo journal, so check back again soon for updates (click here for information on how to submit).

Isla Huapi, Chile

I attended a Mapuche cultural presentation in Huapi Budi, an indigenous community near the coast with my internship with El Programa Orígenes, a government organization that works with indigenous communities in the 9th region of Chile. There was a community meeting to discuss cultural values at a local school on la Isla Huapi and some school children sang traditional Mapuche songs while dressed in traditional Mapuche clothing.

 

  
 
 

Curacautín, Chile

For one of my classes at la Universidad de la Frontera in Temuco, Chile from the Social Work major, we took a field trip to Curacautín to inform members of the community about changes that were made to the Domestic Violence law in Chile. Part of the program involved working with children at a rural school and helping them understand what domestic violence means as well as informing them how to get help if they need it.

Cuenca, Spain

This photo shows me and my new friend Marissa (right), a Vassar student, at the viewpoint with Cuenca, a small town two hours outside Madrid, behind us. We were there the Saturday after Thanksgiving on a group excursion and we had our version of a Thanksgiving dinner in an excellent restaurant along the river.

 

 

  
 

 

  
Aranda de Duero, Spain

Cristina, Esther, and Rosa and me, members of the university choir I joined in Madrid.  We're on a choir trip to Aranda (a small town two hours north of Madrid) to sing in the church there for a music festival. After the concert we were taken to a traditional bodega (wine cellar) for a copa (a cross between a cocktail hour and a banquet).
