Eight Artesia High School seniors will attend the Global Leadership Summit March 12-20 in Peru.
Students will come from all over the world to learn together and investigate the role of a global citizen in a changing world, as well as examine how Peru is adapting and innovating cultural traditions in order to shape its future amid the pressures of globalization.
The students will also explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas, learn about the local economy and artisan crafts, and discover the importance of preserving ancient wonders on a visit to Machu Picchu.
The students would like to express appreciation to HollyFrontier Navajo Refining, LLC, for helping make the trip possible with a generous donation of $20,000, presented by refinery manager Bob O’Brien. The students attending include Kylie Kenney, McKinah Gwynne, Jalissa Berdoza, Kamryn Esquibel, Kali Martinez, Sydni Salmon, Ricardo Aguirre, and Dennis Johnson. Anna Kelley will also accompany the students.
The trip was designed by EF (Education First) Tours.
