REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!!! - ARTS, COMMUNITY SERVICE, CULTURE, ECOLOGY AND FUN IN ARGENTINA

Community Development Partners For The Americas, (CDPA), a Westchester, NY based organization, in conjunction with The Madres of Plaza de Mayo and other community-based organizations in Argentina, invite High School students to join us for a Summer of Art, Community Service, Culture, Ecology and Fun in the cultural capital of Latin America. The Program Director is CDPA's president, Hune Margulies, Ph.D. (please see a short biographical note on Dr. Margulies at the bottom of the Application page.)

Following our previous years successful Summer Programs, we are now accepting applications for Arts and Community Service 2007. We will travel to Argentina from July 5 to August 10, 2007.

Our Summer program combines creative arts, performing arts and solidarity work in Buenos Aires, together with eco-adventures in the heart of the Andes Mountain Glaciers, sailing and skiing, cultural interaction with the people of Argentina, learning, Spanish classes, Tango classes, social interaction with local teens and many more fun and recreational activities.

Students will experience first hand the joy of working on behalf of the needy. Our participants will delight in the personal and warm friendships they will make with their peers and be an important part of the mission of helping and creating.

Registration is now, and we urge you to apply early. Spaces are limited to a maximum of 45 participants. For more information please read the other links in this blog, and/or write to Hune Margulies, Ph.D., Program Director, at CDPA@cdpa-americas.org, 914-833-7787. We will gladly send you references from previous participants, including pictures from trips in previous years, and other testimonials.

The tuition for the entire Summer program is only $4,757.00. After January 8, tuition will be 4,957.00. Tuition includes international round trip air fare, lodging, 3 meals a day, all tours and trips, all activities, all materials and all taxes (except for $18.00 passport tax payable at departure from Argentina).

I'd be happy to attend parlor meetings at your home and visit your schools and communities . Please follow the links to your right for more detailed information on the program.


Thank you for considering us and I look forward to seeing you in ARTS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE '07
