Trinidad



Trinidad: This two week service learning trip will focus on two service projects. We will work with the Cyril Ross Nursery for HIV positive children and with Habitat for Humanity. We will use the island as a laboratory for studying the effects, positively and negatively, of globalization, especially as it relates to health, education, energy, and food production. We will also explore the rich and diverse religious traditions of Trinidad—Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. There will be time set aside to explore the natural and cultural beauty of the island. We will stay in the Top of the Mont on the grounds of the Benedictine monastery outside Tunapuna. The cost of the trip will be approximately $1,100 which includes airfare, transportation, meals and accommodations.
