BU Abroad Snippet: Riding in Taxis in Ayacucho, Peru, Day 1
Most of this footage was from our first day in Ayacucho, Peru. We were put in a taxi on about an hour's sleep to meet with the students. There was a lot of riding in taxis and buses during our two weeks out there, so this video sort of represents [...]that. Apologies for the roughness.
I was listening to a lot of Fleet Foxes on my iPod flying and riding around Peru, so that explains the music choice. Enjoy!

A Car Bash For Crohn's And Colitis
An Oldsmobile, a few cans of spray paint, and a 10-pound sledgehammer were united on Monday to raise funds for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (www.ccfa.org). The car bash, sponsored by the fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha, encouraged students [...]to use the sledgehammer or a baseball bat to take out their frustrations on the donated "beater" car: $3 for 15 seconds, and $5 for 30 seconds. The money will go towards research in finding a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which together affect about one million people in the United States.
For the fraternity brothers, the event was fun, but also had a meaningful and personal purpose. "We have several brothers in the fraternity who either have Crohn's disease, or have family members who have Crohn's disease," said Alex Alben (SMG'08). "So it feels closer to home for us."
