So Long Lima!

Monday was the beginning of a brand new adventure. After finishing our work at Santa Rosa we prepared to leave Lima for good (or at least until our flight leaves to Toronto). Well, we were all ready to go fairly early in the morning, but the vans that we were going to drive to Cuzco sure weren't! We had to wait 6 hours to get the vans released to us, so we had a lot of time to kill. We cleaned out the villa a whole bunch of times to make sure everything was tidy and good enough for the university. We passed the time by watching tv shows we had downloaded earlier and playing games on Eric's laptop. When the vans finally arrived at 3:00ish we hurriedly gathered our gear and prepared to leave, but again we had to keep waiting while Brandon figured out some final details with where we would be staying that night and for the other van to arrive. They both finally showed up and we got our stuff packed up and left within the hour. Three hours later after a couple short adventures we made it to our hostel, showered and slept in actual beds for the first time in weeks satisfied that we had finally seen the sun for the first time since Canada.

Inca Sun

It is in no way an exaggeration to say that today was one of the greatest days of the project thus far. We did not work at the school, but instead piled onto a bus at 7:30 in the morning and went on a three hour bus ride vaguely south to the town of Lunahauna nestled amidst towering mountains – real mountains made of rock, NOT sand. In fact, the entire valley was relatively sand-free. The greatest part about it all wasn’t the green grass, the clear water, or the beautiful mountains though, it was that for the first time in two weeks we could see the Sun. The sky was a gorgeous blue speckled with puffy white clouds, and we adored it. The Sun alone made the entire adventure more than worth it. But as we disembarked from the bus, it just got better and better. We made our way down to the river that wound its way through the valley and began our white-water rafting adventure. The entre group, along with a few Peruvian guides, got into four rafts and headed down the river. It was my first white water adventure and it was absolutely amazing. The rapids were fairly easy, and so it was a good introduction to the activity, and it is certainly one I hope to do again. There were a few mishaps though. Mikey fell out of the raft entirely and skipped across a few rocks, and all of our rafts got stuck quite a few times. After rafting, we all dried off on an escarpment that offered a stunning view of a small part of the valley, and ate some of the best chicken we’ve ever had. We can certainly say it’s some of the best because after eating pollo just about everyday, we are practically experts. Then came another big activity – the zip line. I’ll be honest, I was adamant in my decision to not go zip lining, but I was convinced to give it a try, and I sure am glad I did it. It wasn’t at all terrifying like I thought it would be. It was just a quick zip from one mountain to the next, nothing to worry about. After we had all gone on the zip line, it was time to call it a day, so we got onto the lovely coach bus we rented (I still prefer public transit, but it was nice to actually have room to move) and started the trek home. Along the way Davison ate so much Bembo’s (think Peruvian Burger King) and engaged in thrilling conversation about Battlestar Galactica, though only Dylan had any idea what he was talking about. And thus concludes one of our most eventful days yet, and I know it will only get sunnier from here.

More hard work and fun!

On Sunday, we woke up unnecessarily early, because we had heard that the Peruvian scouts would be starting to work at 7:00am. Given their track record we had no reason to believe otherwise, but we were misled. We woke up at 6:30 (after staying up until 2:30 doing something called the spider) and promptly waited for two hours for the other contingent members to arrive. It was an unremarkable day for everyone but Ryan Pepper, for reasons we will not explain. We finished work on the playground and planted some new trees along the side of the schoolyard, adding some green to the sea of sand. Since we were all really tired from sleeping over, we basically all crashed as soon as we got back to the horse farm.

Hard Work and History

Nearing the midway of the work part of this International Development Project we have hit a lull in the hard manual labour portion of the project with most of the major moving of rocks done and finding out that we won’t be physically building the classroom due to some Peruvian regulations. We did however learn some good information – we will be painting the classroom (and maybe a mural for the playground) and hopefully building some more shaded areas for the children in the yard – a project that we will be able to do unaided by anyone else. I’m sure that pictures of this project are to follow.

Although we don’t all enjoy picking up garbage and small rocks from the front of the school (I sure don’t!) the community has noticed with people who live and work far away from the school making comments to us such as the shopkeeper of an awesome antique/restoration/weird stuff store. Speaking of this store: we scored some awesome stuff here to bring back home. I know that I for one scored some mini army figurines, a leather bound bottle, some old skeleton keys and a painting.

After the work day today, we went to a archaeological dig site outside of Lima – the ruins of Pachacamac. Pachacamac is an active dig site with ruins from pre-Inca times to nearly Hispanic times (1500AD) when the Incans abandoned it. It was amazing to see and offers many great views of the ocean as well as of the ruins.

Overall, today was a pretty great day with part work and part play (due to the school closing in the early afternoon – I swear we weren’t lazy!) and it looks like the rest of our days this week are shaping up to be just as awesome.

On the Project Site

On our second day of working without the help and excitement of the Peruvian Scouts, we moved rocks and cleaned up the area in front of the project site. People in the community kept on stopping by and thanking us for our work. They all seemed so excited that we were cleaning up the area. With some of the rocks we moved we made rings around a few fresh-planted saplings as well as using some rocks to repair the walls for the pathways leading to the highway. We also moved a ton (no joke) of sand from the cistern pit being dug by local workers and covered the area from the school to the highway in fresh clean sand. We had a quiche for lunch full of what I think was spinach and other things that I could not determine. Overall it was a good day even if we only cleaned up a bit and moved a lot of sand.

Editors Thoughts

A week ago today, a group of considerably better-smelling individuals sat in a Toronto airport, eager to embark on a great journey to the wild and wonderful country of Peru. No one knew what exactly this adventure would be like, but I have no doubt that everyone’s expectations have been exceeded ten-fold. Every member has been kept busy, whether that means working harder than they ever imagined they could, or translating more Spanish than they ever thought possible (that last one applies entirely to Alanna, as the rest of us are hopelessly lost when it comes to speaking Spanish). But as hard as we’ve worked on the project, changing a trash-strewn sandy wasteland into a safe and fun place for children to play, our biggest accomplishment has been the friends we have all made. Despite language barriers, everyone has developed friendships with the local Peruvian Scouts - Ben particularly comes to mind. In just one day of work, he managed to get three neckers, one hat, and one whole uniform shirt from the Scouts he has befriended. There isn’t a person at the worksite who doesn’t know Ben, and he has managed to make more than a few of us marvel at exactly how he gets the local scouts to give him the clothes off of their backs. We have also all grown much closer as a Contingent, rekindling friendships with our fellow Venturers from Kenya 2012 or Madagascar 2012 or quickly accepting the first-timers into our Brotherhood. Personally, it is nice to once again see my friends that I haven’t had much contact with in the last two years, but I’ve also become fast friends with the Venturers and Rovers I’ve never met before. This, of course, is the point of a Brotherhood Project – to form lasting relationships with Scouts from all across the globe.

This Monday was spent a little differently than our last day in Canada. Instead of riding a bus, we rode horses at the Club Hípico Peruano, a prestigious horse club that just happens to be where we’re staying on the University grounds. As a first time horse rider it was an exciting experience, made all the better by being in a foreign country. After taking the horses around the field for a leisurely walk, Jenn, Jess, Andrea, Shaun and one member of the horse club went out for a ride on the beach. To quote Jenn “It was better than awesome, and you could feel how much the horse was enjoying it.” After riding and caring for the horses by giving them a good brushing and wash, we all climbed aboard public transportation for a quick jaunt to the archeological dig site Pachacamac. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything more about it, since we arrived to a locked gate. No matter how hard we tried to sweet-talk to the security guard into letting us in, he was adamant that ‘closed’ applied to everyone. So instead we crossed the street and frolicked in some massive sand dunes. For those of you who don’t know, Lima is essentially one giant sand box. The city is built on sand, surrounded by sand, filled with sand... it’s inescapable. After our dune adventure, we all piled onto another city bus and headed to a mall in Lima. The malls here are a lot like the malls back in Canada, and so we all enjoyed the finer points of a Western mall - that is - Pizza Hut and Chinese food. We even managed to stumble upon the Peruvian version of Costco.

The only problem with the mall was that its churros were less than satisfactory. But that’s a small price to pay for another fun adventure into the crazy city of Lima.

Second Day of Work

The real work of construction started today at Santa Rosa de Llanavilla School. Due to regulations and guidelines in Peru we were not able to work on the classroom foundation as we originally thought we would, as we are not qualified to do foundation work in Peru. Instead, we spent a majority of the day cleaning up the yard, prepping the vegetable garden, and demolishing old and incredibly rusty playground equipment with a pickaxe.
Cleaning the yard consisted of clearing away old rubble, garbage and rusty desks and chairs that had been left in the yard by the school for recycling. Cleaning this waste helped dramatically improve the quality of the yard. Getting the garden ready was a ton of work. We removed ridiculous amounts of sand across the yard in order to make room for the new nutrient rich dirt. This involved moving piles of dirt multiple times and lots of hard work. The highlight of the construction was easily the demolition of the playground equipment. This rusted out equipment was unusable for the children so we tore it out and attacked its concrete foundations, hacking them to bits until they were small enough to move from the construction site on wheelbarrows.

After the construction was finished the contingent split up for the night. One half stayed with the Peruvian Scouts at the school overnight. We had a great party/campfire where we set the evening playing charades and broken telephone in our limited Spanish, both of which ended in thunderous laughter from the Peruvians as we attempted miserably to figure out what they were saying in Spanish. We then did campfire songs where we copied the Peruvians on both the words they were singing and the dances they were doing. The most accurate description of Peruvian campfire songs would be very loud, very enthusiastic and very happy with a healthy dose of hip-shaking. It was awesome and it got even better when we played the Peruvian game “spider.” Spider is essentially a complex human pyramid where we jumped, climbed and supported other scouts in order to create a shape that ultimately, you guessed it, looks like a spider. It was tough to support the couple dozen people involved but it was the best teambuilding game I’ve ever had the pleasure to take part in.

First Day of Work

Today was the group’s first day on the project site. After an early awakening we took off for the job site on foot and arrived around 10am. We had been told that we would be meeting the children that attended the school today
but no one expected the warm welcome and sense of fellowship that a school full of excited children could create.

After a lengthy play session with the children at the school, the contingent settled in to work on two goals on the school ground: to lay the foundation for the new classroom and to clean up a poorly maintained play area and open it up for use. The play area group spent the day disposing of rocks, broken desks, scrap metal, glass and old tires to ready the area for development. During this time the others moved sand, brick and cement mix in preparation for the foundation.

Our workday was brief but productive and before long we were on the road again to tour the Peruvian parliament buildings and sight see around Lima. The tour lasted the last half of the afternoon and into the evening. In that time we witnessed many historic monuments and sites around Lima and we eventually found ourselves at the Parliament buildings. While we didn’t get the amount of time we wanted at the Parliament buildings we did get to extend our tour into a nearby plaza and got to experience many of the less popular sights of Lima.

The tour ended with a hearty dinner at a local restaurant where everyone got to eat up and refuel after an exhausting day. Although many of us were exhausted the bus ride back to our compound was filled with singing, dancing and camaraderie. We finished off the day exhausted, dusty but ecstatic about the potential our project could have on the local community and we had a new found drive to create a better world.

Welcoming and Adventure at the Zoo

From the perspective of Ben and Eric Kyle:

Yesterday I didn’t believe that things could get any better, but today proved me very wrong. We started the morning off roughly as we had to wake and pack up early in the morning so that the university students could attend their class. As we waited for the bus to come back with some other contingent members, as they had been dropping off all our medical supplies, we walked through the farm just a stone’s through from where we slept. We met the horses, goats, cows and
alpacas. When the bus finally came back we gathered all our stuff and went to the zoo. I was miserable for the two hour-long bus ride there, due to the soreness from yoga and training the night before, as well as the little sleep I got because someone was snoring like a machine, all night long.

When we got to the zoo I felt a little better but not a whole lot. We wandered the zoo for hours and it became clear we were almost a bigger attraction than the animals. Everywhere we went we were greeted by a chorus of children giggling everything from “hola” to “gringo!” By lunch we were tired and frustrated by the lack of food consumed during the day so far and after many, many distractions we were finally directed to a nice little restaurant where we ate chicken, salad and fries. We wandered around a little more after lunch where I continued a game I created, to see how many people I can get to wave back to me. We had gotten to the aquarium area, the last area of the zoo to explore, where I waved to a girl who looked about my age. In the end she continuously asked for my number and hit on me, and I had to tell her I had a girlfriend. She still didn’t end up leaving me alone until we left the park. Also while we were in the aquarium, a little girl walked up to me and stole my nose. So I chased her away as she screamed with laughter, and stole my nose back later.

From the zoo we traveled to a mall where some of us bought air mattresses and pillows for the hard floor we are sleeping on. To finish off the day, we detoured to a park with water fountains all over and paid to ride around in a little train, which was great fun. On our little ride around the park we spied a few people playing in a fountain, set up as a big circle, with hundreds of little jets of water that would periodically spray up. We decided it would be great fun to run to the centre of the fountains and firmly believed we were skilled enough that we wouldn’t get wet at all in the circular labyrinth of jets. We were so, so wrong. Ryan slipped and got absolutely soaked and none of us escaped the wrath of the fountain and guard controlling it. We were all soaking wet and decided to go to Starbucks, where our bus abandoned us. After a wait that seemed like forever in our sopping wet clothes the bus came back and we returned to the farm on the university campus that we’re staying. After changing into some dry clothes, we sat down to play a game of Roses and Thorns, where you say one good thing and one bad thing about the day, but our Roses seriously outnumbered our Thorns, proving just how amazing a day can be, even when you are soaking wet.

Dancing Demons

In the morning we woke up just in time to see a man in spandex hot pants teaching a salsa class. Avoiding him we packed our bags and brought them downstairs. Once the bags were stacked, the advisors brought us market fresh pork breakfast sandwiches with deep fried yams and onions.
After we finished our sandwiches we left the scout office and drove for twenty minutes to the Universidad Cientifica del Sur where we set up home base at the school farm. We were dangerously close to sleeping in a field of horses and horse droppings, but luckily through sign language we were able to upgrade to sleeping in a building. After lodgings were secured we headed back over to the main campus for a ceremony were we were greeted by dancing demons. The dancing demons led us to an official ceremony with the university president and the international scout commissioner. Once the multiple speeches were over we then went to the school where we would be working. We were met by the school principle and shown around. We were also informed on what we were doing and where it would be done. The state of the school was very stark, the playground seemed run down and everything was broken. It made us realize that as Canadians we are extremely lucky, but unfortunately not everyone has the same quality of living as we do. We then went down the street to a little Peruvian restaurant. We had the choice of eating chicken or beef. After we ate we spent some time petting a few dogs. We then went back to the farm, got ready for bed and realized it was only 7:30pm but as dark as midnight. After escaping the long dark nights of Canadian winter we realized we flew right back into it.

Finally in Peru

Customs... went smoothly with no hold ups! A thing that occurs few and far between! So we landed in Peru to a better reception than we had in Kenya – there was a single bus waiting for us
across the parking lot, who also had a very tight schedule as our flight had been delayed 45 minutes, then another 45 minutes due to “technical problems”... they ended up getting us a new plane with little air conditioning or available electricity (no TVs to everyone’s dismay). Throwing our gear on the bus and driving like mad so the driver can get to work on time, we finally arrived in the Lima Scout Office where we were going to stay for the night. One room – the boys room – consisted of 15 bunk beds, each with its own memory foam mattress; in the other room there was a carpet and a wooden floor... Some of us were sore in the morning! The bathrooms were very nice compared to what they could have been, though only the guys shower seemed to have hot water (needless to say, it soon became a communal shower). After a while talking with the coordinators of our stay it was bed time, with strict orders from Jenn and Andy that nothing is to happen before 11am. Ugh it was such a long day and the girls had barely unrolled their sleeping bags before the 7:45am Salsa class began next door, and man that instructor can yell! An hour later, someone informed us that if we wanted breakfast – McDonalds – the group was leaving in 20mins. So much for sleeping in!

McDonalds was the usual breakfast sandwiches, but after seeing the prices of other food, it was probably the most expensive meal we ate all day with only a fraction of the food. Little did we know, the 20 minute McD trip would be immediately followed by an 8 hour hike... It was an amazing hike, though it would have been better if everyone had proper gear (for example: running shoes, sweater, water bottles and deodorant). The Peruvian Scouts showed us to the brand name mall with a Starbucks, Tony Romas, Guess and all those high end and extremely expensive stores! An hour and 2 or 3 coffees later (for most people) one of the Scout girls who spoke a fair amount of English (awesome!) took us, by busy Peruvian bus, to her favourite restaurant on the other side of town for lunch. Best. Meal. Ever. We had a fun time trying to order food, as the girl who spoke English had to leave because she had to go to a dance class that she was veeeeery late for! We thanked her profusely! The food was a seriously scrumptious 2 course meal consisting of one of 4 appetizers and one of 3 main courses. After lunch we bused back to another point on the coast where we proceeded to train for Machu Picchu with another 6 hours of walking up the coast line, dodging traffic and running up extreme hills.

Dinner. Miscommunication with the Peruvian Scouts was decently limited, though everything seemed to work out! For dinner they were taking us to a market where we could sit down and eat. As it turned out, the market was actually a grocery store with a few tables in the Peruvian version of McDonalds. After buying a few cooked chickens, salad, French fries and fruit, we begged utensils from the staff and ate till our hearts content in the middle of the grocery store. The walk back to the Scout Shop was slightly awful cause after sitting down for like an hour after 8 hours of non-stop walking, the feet tend to get very sore!! Bedtime wasn’t too far after this point, and after a lot of stretching and feet-taking-care-of we were all in bed and ready for 8am Salsa class!

The Contingent is in Peru!

The contingent safely arrived at the National Scout Headquarters at about 5am local time this morning. A bigger and better blog post is in the works! Until then the team is off to get breakfast and see Lima.

Up, Up and Away!

As written by Geof, a first time perspective on flying:

So far I have really enjoyed my experience on this Brotherhood Project. In the morning after getting all of our gear packed up we carried it up to Spencer Lodge in London. Then while we waited Kiki and Daniel made amazing egg muffins for a quick breakfast.

When the bus showed up we put all the contingent and personal gear in the back of the bus and started our two hour long road trip to Toronto, which included a few people watching movies or some playing the most intense game of Risk ever played by humankind. Upon arrival at the Toronto International Airport, I led everyone to Gate E where we settled in for a two hour wait. But shortly before we were supposed to leave we found out it was delayed for an hour and then we were delayed again but finally at about 7:20pm we left. While on the plane I quickly learned that I had the middle seat in the middle row of the plane; luckily, Andrea moved and I was able to have her seat next to the window. During the flight after we started “cruising” a few people constantly had questions for me; Pepper had me start this blog post, Scotty wanted me to help him make a survival bracelet, and then the Muppet movie was on which just added to all the unforeseen experiences of my first flight. Altogether though it was a great flight and I hope it is the beginning of many more to come!

Ropes & Bags

Today we had an amazing guest named Spencer come out from the YMCA who taught us lessons about teamwork and how important it is when working as a group on a project such as this. To learn these lessons we climbed up a VPG (vertical playground) that taught us encouragement, a high wire teeter-totter that we had to balance on with partners to teach us about cooperation and a low triangle wire which we had to walk along without falling off (while holding hands with a partner). We packed all our bags for the flight, as well as the bags of medical supplies and had an ambulance drive down for a big group picture with all of our gear. The Council Commissioner, Council Youth Commissioner, Council Executive Director, the Area Support Manager, the National Recognition Advisor, along with a representative of the Scouting International Committee came to wish us farewell on our journey and invest each individual into the Peru 2014 Brotherhood Contingent. It was great of them to speak of encouragement, getting us even more excited, as if that is even possible!

First Day of Precamp

After months of preparation and planning, fundraising and building excitement the time has finally come for the 2014 Peru Brotherhood Project to begin. The day started early for the members of the Contingent who arrived at the Bryson Centre scout camp in London, Ontario, although some sure took their time getting here (flights from Winnipeg are notoriously unreliable). This was no usual scout camp though – so the level of sitting around, sleeping, and eating breakfast food all day was quite low. In fact, it was a very busy day, as we had been commissioned to build a wood shed from scratch. Led by the construction advisors, the group went to work from the morning to suppertime, but ended the day with a shed that is both remarkable and architecturally sound.
After a great dinner, we embraced the fine activities of sportsball and teeter-totter Ninja. As the day slowly draws to a close, the Contingent is gathering for more serious talks about the project. It was a great day where old friends got to come together again and a shed was born.

The Road to Peru - The Fundraising Process

Saturday, June 21st was a happening day in Belmont, as families came out from all over town to the Belmont Fun Day at Union Street Park. As the kids enjoyed a dunk tank and awesome inflatables and bouncy castles, the town was also introduced to two members of the Peru 2014 Brotherhood Project team - Geof Gubbels and myself, Ryan Pepper. From 10am to 2pm we sold quite a few Survival bracelets. While being very fashionable bracelets, they can also save your life, as they easily unwind into a long piece of rope. The idea of selling survival bracelets was pioneered by Geof, who has already been selling them for months with great success. The bracelets were a hit, and a lot of interested people stopped by and were eager to support our project. With just over two weeks left until the Contingent heads out to Peru, this will be one of the last big fundraising pushes. Previous fundraisers have included a Masquerade Bowling event hosted by Kristin Ransome and Allana Cunningham Rogers, and I myself also sold popcorn at my school's Mega-Music Night.

Winter Meeting

On Sunday January 5th, 10 members of the Peru 2014 Contingent and a couple parents met (some for the first time) at the ambulance station in downtown London. Other members took part via Google Hangout to watch as the first major details of our project were announced. The afternoon began with the most important part - finally finding out what we were going to be doing in Peru. So without any further ado: the project. 

Part of the project will involve refurbishing a school in the village of Santa Rosa de Llanavilla, not too far away from the capital, Lima. A secondary goal for this project is to work with the school outreach program to assist in their small veterinary clinic. 

Together with Scouts from the nearby Universidad Cientifica del Sur (Scientific University of the South), this contingent will be working to improve life in Santa Rosa by giving children a better and improved learning environment.

Besides the manual labour required to refurbish the school, we as a contingent are also looking for eye glasses, unexpired medical supplies of any kind, small toys and school supplies. To arrange for drop off or for our mailing address, please email peru2014.idp@gmail.com.

During the meeting we also discussed the potential medical risks associated with this project. Many are not unusual and are common risks associated with any kind of travelling - traveller's diarrhea, stomach flus or intestinal bugs, to name just a few. One risk our Medical Advisers made sure we understood was altitude sickness, which anyone, no matter how fit, can experience. If you have any questions or concerns over the medical risks, do not hesitate to talk to our Medical Advisers (their contact information is in the first newsletter).

With service comes a well deserved learning opportunity. Possible out-trips that have been suggested include sand boarding in a desert oasis or an excursion to an island renowned for its wildlife diversity, called Islas Ballestas. However, these out-trips have yet to be formalized. 

One major out-trip already planned is hiking the Inca Trail through the Andes Mountains to the world-famous Incan ruins of Macchu Picchu.

Many minor details are still under development, but at least now you have a much better idea of what you have gotten yourself into! Just remember to keep fundraising, and keep your mind open!
