The University of Hawai‘i at Hilo offers the fifth Castellano en Perú/Ola ka honua summer program with Sra. Luisa Oldmen. Program
dates are from Wednesday, May 16 to Saturday, June 30, 2007.
Castellano is the Spanish spoken in Latin America. Participants in
this program are immersed in the language through daily interactions
with native speakers. They will use castellano as their target
language and thus gain confi dence to improve their fl uency. Through
excursions to cultural sites, museums, universities, communities,
markets, churches, and restaurants, our participants will gain a
deeper understanding of the Peruvian people and their culture.
In classes and study sessions, participants and local students will
compare experiences
and these exchanges
and refl ections will
contribute to a
keener perception of a global community.
“Ola ka honua” is the Hawaiian expression which
conveys the idea that the world is alive and everyone
and everything in it are interconnected. Through service
learning projects in local communities our participants
will share their language, culture and their aloha.
Participants will visit colonial Lima, Islas Ballestas in Paracas, Cajamarca, Sipan in Chiclayo; Chan Chan in Trujillo, Piura, Arequipa and the Colca Canyon; Lake Titicaca in Puno; sand-board in Huacachina; fly over the Nazca Lines, surf in Máncora, explore Cusco and discover the majesty of Macchu Picchu.
