Along with three of her program-mates, Mayo selected a trip to Peru, where the students will assist in development programs while taking part in cultural activities, like cooking and basket weaving. “We’re hoping, after we come back, to hold events to fundraise for charities in Peru where we would talk about Peruvian culture, probably prepare some Peruvian food,” she said. The group expects to plan additional fundraiser events before the trip, which is planned for June.
