This service trip is a partnership between local high-school youth, SVA members, and members of the community. In August 2012 we will be traveling to Cusco, Machu Picchu and serving in Trujillo with Inca Link International. Our work there will focus on orphanage and trade school construction, as well as spending time with children in the day care and possibly near the garbage dump. IncaLink partners with Christian & Missionary Alliance teams to serve families in and around the Trujillo garbage dump. While the organization is driven by its Christian faith, this trip is open to absolutely anyone interested in going.
