The Global Field Program through Miami University is a master's program that changes attitudes and behaviors towards our Earth. It promotes a love of this planet, its systems and processes, its species and resources, its ecosystems and interactions, and the Homo sapiens who have the responsibility of using it sustainably. The amazing Kaiteur Falls. I have seen the beauty of this Earth, and I have the responsibility to bring it to others, show them how fragile it is, and inspire them to save it.  A momma spider monkey looking down from above.  A beautiful species hidden deep in the rainforest and affected by humans' excessive need for their home which provides resources that we throw away after one use.  This is Junior. A vibrant young Makushi who lives in Surama, Guyana. He shared his knowledge of the rainforest with us as one of our guides. He even taught us traditional practices, such as making this arrow for hunting.   The Makushi culture was stifled through years of

Hi again,  This is Adeline, I almost forgot about our first trip to Kyrgyzstan. What a beauty, a Camel. We didn't expect to see these on the side of the road. Our friend told us she has never seen a Camel on the side of the road in Kyrgyzstan. They were super cool to see.  This is us going to see the Seven Oxen. We didn't see seven alright, but we sure enjoyed going to visit. The legend is from far away someone thought they were oxen, but when they found it, it was just a red beautiful rock.  Us making a wall hanging out of felt. All they use to stick it together is soap and water. I really enjoyed kicking it. That's right I said kicking it. When we were all finished it looked AWESOME!!!  Thats all. Hope to see you on our next global journey!

These magnificent creatures are one of the most rarest things to see in the world. What's the story? We heard these calls that the animals make when they see a tiger or a leopard. So the guards heard one and we started going up on a hill , on a safari one evening. Soon we parked in the middle of these stairs to hike up to this statue. All the sudden the guards are running up and they turn back and start yelling " LEOPARD, LEOPARD!" So we all start rushing up there and it was right there. Super cool right.  So this is another one of our must sees, The TajMahal. It looks like its fully white, but actually when you get up close it's a one of a kind. The inside is beautiful, too.  Make sure to wear booties and take no photos. Last, but never least is the Lotus temple. It is so gorg
