How much do you think a school exchange trip to Peru would cost

How much do you think a school exchange trip to Peru would cost?
Our school hosts exchanges and I really want to go on an exchange to Peru, except I need to pay for it. It's a humanitarian exchange where we help orphans and live with a host family for 2 weeks. Other exchanges in our school cost...: Spain: $1500, France: $1800, Russia: $3300, Ireland: $2500, and Italy: $4000. I'm wondering if it is near the lower or upper end. If anyone can help that would be AMAZING! Thank you :]

It all depens on what you do. I don't think it would be more than France. Life is cheaper in Peru. I went there and stayed at my friend's house for 2 weeks and spent $600

You obviously need to talk to your school about potential programs, for the most part though they are all expensive and unfortunately the biggest benefit for the organization you are volunteering for is the profit they are making off of your admission and not your service. You can imagine that it is hard enough for an orphan to not have a solid family, but to have someone he meets and becomes enamored with leave him/her ultimately in the end, that can lead to emotional issues and trauma. That is why I am not a fan of those programs, I would rather recommend that you find a program that aims at bettering communities in the Andes by helping to build houses or plan within communities, working for progress etc. I invite you to my own organizations volunteer program if you are 18+, we offer free room and board plus an affordable $25 a week meal plan. Our volunteers help gather information regarding Peru to build the Internets largest informational database on the culture of this country. You get weekends off to travel the country at our agencies confidential prices. Perupedia is the project and you can read more about it here: http://www.karikuy.org/volunteer

Well It all depends on your school, I guess there is not a big difference with tuition at all. For example at my school CSULB there are many IP programs, for this summer my school has the following destiantions: Florence-Italy Guayaquil-Ecuador Crete-Greece Madrid-Spain Seoul-Korea well according to the flyers a student must pay around 2000-3000. They include tuition and I think that housing too. If you were to go to Ecuador your money will last you longer, I guess that with less than 1000 dollars you could survive for 6-7 weeks. But in Europe I dont think that will be enough.... Why dont you school if there is family that could take you in their home, and try to plan a budget in advance

If you're in college, then there should be a international studies office. If not, then there are plenty of ways to find exchange programs throughout your state and city. This site looks legit, but I would go to citysearch through google for your city. http://www.afsusa.org/usa_en/link/5367?gclid=COXj9pG79JgCFRFMagodoUHI0Q I've studied abroad twice- both times my parents paid. I went through my high school and then my university. It's an experience that not only let's me experience another culture, but actually learn something that will apply to my life, such as courses, and help me to build tolerance and even learn about myself <--- good way to convince them to help.

Q.Anyone know what school hours are in Italy? A.School six days a week 4 days , 5 hours plus 2 days , 7 hours equals 34 hours a week

Hi!At the elementary school the hours is this:every day six hours of lessons,two days at week seven hours and the saturday the italian students go to school,but depends,some school go also on saturday,other no.Sorry for my bad american,but i'm from Italy!Hi!

It depends on a schools' choice. They can decide not to go on Saturdays, in this case the average timetable from mon to fri is from 8.30 until 4.20. If they go on Saturdays the daily timetable is shorter.

I'm Italian (sorry if I do something wrong, and you do not understand something) However school times here in Italy vary greatly ... For example I live well south and when I went to school (now university) would go at 8o'clock and went out some day at 1, a few days to 2, but I know that the North Italy have these times, because they eat very early (around 12:30, but here we do not eat before 2) and out of school around 12 ... I do not know how they can recover the hours... Regard to Saturday ... well, it depends ... some schools have Saturdays off, others no

Hi! I'm from South Tyrol, it's a predominantly German speaking province (~3/4) in Northern Italy, inhabited by Austrians, Italian settlers and Ladin people (latter are a small indigenous ethnicity). There are schools in three languages, German, Italian and Ladin, but the school system itself is Italian (I guess it's the same as the Anglo-American one): - Elementary school (ital. scuola elementare), 5 years - Middle school (scuola intermedia), 3 years - High School (scuola media superiore), 3 to 5 years I can't really talk about school hours in Italy, since we are an autonomous region and have traditionally different holidays and schedules adoptet from the Austrian system. "School hours" are usually referred to 50 minutes classes. I don't remember anymore about how long every day was. Usually elementary and middle schools have always the same system. I had Monday until Saturday from 8 o'clock to 1 o'clock. In high school, there are differences between the types of high school (language lyceum, technical school, commercial school etc.) I made a school about tourism, it had 38x 50min per week, twice at morning and afternoon, i.e. Mo, Wed, Fri 8:00 - 12:45; Tue, Thu 08:00 - 13:15 + 14:15 - 16:30; Sat 08:00 - 12:15. But there are some with only 32x 50mins and I guess there are schools in Italy with even less. Hope I could help! bye

ya there is.

No...That would make them German or Italian boarding school.

Your question doesn't make sense! :D
4 :

Yes but they are private. They cost alot of money. If you're in secondary school, I suggest holding through (seeing your previous question) and saving that cash for University (that can be in those countries :) )
