Greetings from Greg Tuke, Executive Directory, Bridges


Dear fellow Travelers!


Greetings, Hola!


I am really looking forward to seeing all of you soon, in the mountains of Cusco Peru! While I have traveled fairly extensively in Central America, this will be my first time to South America, and I am excited to be doing it with all of you! The last two years I have been part of the Bridges India workshops. I find these trips to be quite powerful, providing a doorway into a culture and the lives of young people in a way that is rare in international travel of this length of time. I think we will all leave with rich memories and experiences that will change in some way how we look at ourselves and the world in the years ahead.


I think you will also be surprised at the diverse talents people come with. I play the banjo, and always take my backpack banjo on such trips because I find sharing music to be a great common ground and touchstone. Now some of you may challenge the notion that a banjo player can produce music (!) you may just want to stay open to its possibility, no matter how remote....! :)


I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Greg
