Welcome to American University's alternative breaks blog! This space will be a shared space for participants from all trips to post their thoughts and reactions to their experiences on their alternative break trips.

This winter, AU students will go to:

• Colombia to look at displacement and development issues
• India to look at the Dalit Movement against the Indian Caste System
• Thailand/Burma Border to look at the Burmese Democracy Movement

Students will be sharing their photos, videos, and thoughts on these trips here!
