Hi all,



I just got this in my inbox and thought I’d pass it along for anyone who might be interested. This program sounds  really awesome, and I love that it has a leadership/service focus along with the travel experience. Makes me wish I was still a student.

Global Explorers is currently accepting applications for two leadership-focused, adventure-filled, travel expeditions! This 2012-2013 season we will be uniting 15- to 21-year-old students who are blind, visually impaired, and sighted on two incredible Leading the Way Program expeditions. The first is the Rim to River expedition, where students will take part in engaging service and cultural immersion and then have the unique opportunity of rafting the Colorado River through the majestic Grand Canyon. The second is the Peruvian Highlands expedition, where students will experience the magic of the Quechua culture and hike through the Andes exploring Inca ruins, ending at the infamous Machu Picchu.  The Leading the Way Program was developed in partnership with world-renowned blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer.
