PREPARATIONS |
We will be living in simple conditions, with no electricity. It will be comfortable but rustic. Students should be in good health, as we will be traveling by boat in open waters and hiking a fair bit in tough terrain. Finally, for the duration of the course, we will have minima contact with people from the U.S. However, you will have the ability to contact home in case of emergencies. If your loved ones need to contact you in case of an emergency back home, they can contact our colleagues at the University of Miami. Contact information to follow soon.: |
