See how the Holy Spirit is at work building the Church and strengthening the ties between North American and Latin American Christians. No classroom work in the U.S. can compare with the opportunity to live and study in Latin America. Here, a group of North Americans travels to the capital of a Central American nation and meets face-to-face with government, church, and opposition leaders to discuss prospects for peace and democracy. Here, young people do construction work in the Nicaraguan campo, building solidarity with rural pastors and their congregations. Through field study and lively classroom exchanges, these concerned participant/observers are exposed to Latin American experts and ordinary citizens discussing how the power and influence of the United States touch virtually every sphere of their lives. They also speak of the causes of, and responses to poverty, racism, sexism, violence, and human rights abuse in their countries. The young people in these experiences are not international affairs experts, economic development professionals, Peace Corps volunteers or missionaries yet. They are students who have come from all over North America to participate in the Latin American Studies Program (LASP). They are enriching their education, gaining valuable experience, and earning credits toward their college degrees. Join them in discovering Latin America and experiencing Latin culture firsthand!
