"My experience in Peru was profoundly enriching on multiple levels. The trip’s exceptional organization stood out from the start, with thorough pre-trip communication and thoughtfully curated reading materials that prepared us both practically and emotionally.  The opportunities to connect with the orphans were both heartwarming and impactful, creating moments of genuine relationship-building that I will carry with me forever. Additionally, engaging with the Peruvian YMCA was a testament to the shared values of community and service that align so closely with our YMCA mission." - Eric Mehringer
