It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.....

...that is, LLI's Field Trip Season! And it's back!

At the end of March, LLI kicked off our field trip season with a visit to the Huachipa Zoo with Zone Z kids and a visit to Lima's Art museum with our drawing workshop students. Check out the pictures below and we know you'll agree with our kids (and volunteers)... Field trips are wonderful.

At the zoo, kids learned about all different kinds of animals, then participated in a hands-on habitat workshop.

Coolest kids at the zoo!

The art museum was a blast-- none of the students had ever been there, so this was a first and a memorable trip!
