2024 Quaker Study Tour Highlights

Guided by Jennie Ratcliffe’s book Nothing Lowly in the Universe, a diverse group of Quakers, hailing from Alaska to Boston, ages 21 to 74, traveled through Bolivia accompanied by scholars and graduates from BQEF’s scholarship program. We explored the theme of climate change and adaptation, as we visited a wide variety of ecosystems, landscapes, and Aymara communities. Another truly amazing outcome of the trip was the connections we made with one another and with our current and former scholarship students. We learned about our current scholarship students’ dreams for the future and we met with several graduates who have gone on to do amazing work in their fields.
