Susan Rhind Allphin

Susan Rhind Allphin Do you allow families to do study tours. We have 5 children from 17 to 9. We think it is important for them to have an experience like this. I took the oldest two to China and it was a great experience for them and me.

Yes, definitely. You would need to discuss whether you would like to join a public trip or reserve an entire trip for your family.

Judy Are there any planned study tours for the months of June, July or August 2010? I have a son who will be 17 by then who would like to do a study tour with us (his parents) and trips during the school year have become impossible .

Brian Bulla

Brian Bulla Thanks for the earlier reply to my question!
I'm interested in "volunteer/intern" opportunities in Peru, are there any such programs, or are they all Study Tours? I'm working on a Masters in Inter. Studies and Public Admin. Thanks!

Hello Brian - We welcome your interest and would like to be able to accommodate visits from people traveling on their own. However, to respect the dignity and privacy of our project participants, and in light of the limited time and resources of our field staff, we must limit project visits to those organized in conjunction with our Heifer International Study Tours. This way we can ensure a safe and good experience for all involved.

Suzanne Litscher

Suzanne Litscher I'm considering going on a study tour. Are the participants suppose to make their own arrangements to get to and from the country? Or is it done as a group? I see that the price doesn't include airfare costs, so I was just wondering how that works.

Hello Suzanne - yes, you are correct. Study Tours are LAND ONLY to allow you the option of airlines and best fares as well as the opportunity for pre/post trips on an independent basis. Domestic and International air transportation are not included, but specific instructions are given for making your own travel arrangements.
