[MPWG] Want to study the medicinal plants of the Amazon rainforest?

[Marjorie Nieh]

I received your email sent on 10/10. The trip appears to apply to students only, and dates for interviews, etc. have expired. Do you expect non-students to attend the trip? Please advise. The fare that includes airfare from Newark, NJ in one sentence and in another sentence: the fee doesn't include airfare, passport application, etc. Please explain.

Subject: [MPWG] Want to study the medicinal plants of the Amazon rainforest?

UMass Amherst is planning a field practicum course to Peru in January called the Shaman's Pharmacy. This is an unique opportunity for students to study and learn from shaman medicine men in virgin rainforest and learn about how they use this extraordinary ecosystem to heal everything from snake bites to diabetes. Applicants must be currently enrolled in a two or four year college or university. If you are interested, see the two links below.

Please share this news with students and other colleagues you might be interested.

Thank you.
