Subject:

Cabrini College Abroad

Description:

This course offers the chance to spend spring break in a Guatemalan town on the shores of beautiful Lake Atitlan. In preparation for the trip, students study aspects of the history, politics, economics, and culture of the Guatemalan people. The weeklong immersion experience will take place at the internationally recognized San Lucas Toliman Mission. As part of global engagement in this Mayan community, students will observe first-hand the successful application of Catholic Relief Services' Integral Human Development model, learn from discussions with community leaders about a wide variety of projects, work alongside community members in coffee production, home construction, and sustainable farming, and participate in many other rich cultural, religious, and educational opportunities. Following the trip, and informed with the knowledge and experience acquired in San Lucas, students will understand the deep connections the United States has to other global communities.
