Study @ Sea Gives Back in Guatemala, Nicaragua & Ecuador

On May 3, 2012 a group of Humber College students will embark on a one‐of‐kind learning experience to Central America, sailing to six ports of call. Study @ Sea is an experiential multi‐country learning opportunity in partnership with the Institute for Shipboard Education & Enrichment Voyages. Students learn about the history, politics, culture and environment of the countriesbeing visited through enrichment lectures and interactive workshops delivered by academic faculty.

At each destination, students participate in field excursions that include adventure, cultural or community outreach programs. Through service visits students connect with the local people for an authentic and inspiring experience. In Guatemala, students will be delivering school supplies and toothbrushes to a local school and in Nicaragua, they will be feeding children living at the Chinandega garbage dump.

Funds raised at the dinner and silent auction will cover the cost of purchasing and delivering school supplies, toothbrushes and other items.
