Learning About Peru

On Friday, Henniker's own Dan Paul held K-8 students and teachers spellbound with his amazing photo-tour of Peru. Here are some of the children (and a dog) who were affected by the 2007 earthquake in Chincha:

We also saw views of:
  • Cities like Cusco (the ancient capital of the Incan empire)
  • Ruins like Machu-Picchu
  • Lake Titicaca (at 13,000 feet elevation, complete with floating islands!)
  • The mysterious desert lines of Nazca
  • The 2007 earthquake damage in Chincha Alta
Dan also explained a local project to help the people of Chincha Alta rebuild. Thanks for teaching us so much, Dan!
