Happy First Anniversary LLI!

On June 6th, 2010, Light and Leadership celebrated it's first anniversary!!! It was an amazing day packed with face painting, an art exposition, a chocolate sale from our Women's Program, a tough Vocabulary Bee (congrats Nayely, Camila, Cristian, and Deysi!), piñata bashing, and lots of dancing and laughter. Please check out the photos below to see the good time for yourself... and book your plane ticket to be here next year!

Special thanks to our LLI volunteers: Amy Ravenhorst, Meri Paunonen, Eleanor Hargadon-Lowe, Dana Ticker, Whitney Reynolds, and Kristen Painter. FANTASTIC JOB!

Museo de Arte!!!

Our Zone Z Art students enjoyed a trip to Lima's newly renovated Art Museum! Special thanks to volunteers Meri Paunonen and Cristina Capuzzi for organizing a fantastic field trip.

Los Alamos Say Hi

Light and Leadership works in three different areas in Zone Z in Huaycan. One of them is "Los Alamos," one of the most desolate places in Huaycan. It's as far as the combis go, as far as buildings are built...

Although it's desolate, the students in Los Alamos have so much personality and are always ready for more. They recently asked their English class to be pushed up to meeting twice a week, instead of once. Light and Leadership gladly accepted this offer!



Meet some students of Los Alamos -- Antony, Akemi, Valery, Angelica, Sara, and Brenda.

Private Tutoring

Volunteer Nigel Clifford private tutors our student Nicol in Zone Z. Quite adorable.

UCV 231

UCV 231 English Class sends a message to Amy Ravenhorst, LLI volunteer, who is taking a well deserved vacation to travel in Peru and Brasil. We love you, Chuki!

Jump Rope-Limbo Fun in Zone Z!

Breaking News -- Country Line Dancing in Huaycan (Taught by a Brit...)

LLI's conversation club was invaded by a country music loving Brit. The results were... pretty incredible. Line dancing, laughter, and all those good cowboy English phrases. Yeehaw!!!!
