Abstract
This internship report is a review of my time in Peru on a Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarship where I studied for two semesters at La Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) starting in February of 2006. In Peru I participated in a project sponsored by the National Geographic Committee for Research and Exploration called Proyecto Desierto Verde (Project Green Desert) headed by Dr. Kai Tiedemann and Anne Lummerich. Project Green Desert was a pilot project that used fog collectors as an instrument for creating green community spaces. The project was directed toward the women of marginalized communities on the outskirts of Lima and worked to create a means of self-employment for them. The science of fog collection and a review of Project Green Desert are discussed.
