Trips to Asia:

February 15 – 27, 2014: Immersion Trip to Cambodia.

Cambodia is best known for the Angkorian temple complex, and for the genocidal regime of the KhmerRouge. Sharing a border with Thailand, Vietnam and Laos, Cambodia conjures up images of an ancient glorious past and a rich cultural heritage.

Maryknoll Lay Missioners, as well as members of the broader Maryknoll Community in Cambodia will be our hosts on this exciting trip. They will help us to discover the natural beauty, inspiring temples and renowned hospitality of Cambodia. Since 1989, the Maryknoll community has worked with Cambodians in ministries related to health care, social services and education.

Trips to Latin America:

August 17 - 28, 2013: Immersion Trip to Brazil.

Soccer, Carnival, and the Amazon Rainforest:  these are three things people usually associate with Brazil. Unfortunately, it is not all fun and games for most Brazilians. Our home bases will be located in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. São Paulo is home to 19 million people, making it the third largest city in the world. It is the industrial heart of the country, and as such has attracted many migrants from all over.

MKLM missioners in Brazil will be our hosts and they will introduce you not only Brazil’s music and culture, but will share and celebrate with us the lives and works of the people served by them.
