Dear ANASAZI Friends and Families,

I appreciate all the feedback and interest sparked by our new project under development in India. For those who missed our letter two weeks ago, the following is a quick recap:

• We are currently developing a pilot project for a humanitarian program at the Pathway orphanage in Southern India.
• This program will complement the experiences and care that Young Walkers receive on the trail. It will also provide an opportunity for young people who may benefit more from a humanitarian experience, rather than ANASAZI's traditional wilderness-based program.
• This program will provide the opportunity for growth through a dynamic curricula of service, study, culture, travel, and nature.
• We will be hand-selecting eight students for a two-month pilot program that starts at the end of October and wraps up before the holidays.

Many have asked about school credit available to students enrolled in the ANASAZI-Pathway program. Here is an update:

At ANASAZI-Pathway, there will be daily classroom study, which will be conducted by trained ANASAZI staff. Young Walkers will have various options for high school credit such as correspondence courses, and online charter classes. There will also be educational opportunities inherent in the ANASAZI-Pathway program that will qualify the students to receive credit in elective courses such as Travel Study. With these options, an educational plan will be tailored towards each student's individual needs for graduation. In order to optimize these educational plans, we have partnered with Blueprint Education; an accredited distance learning school. Blueprint Education will offer correspondence courses for Young Walkers I invite you to visit Blueprint's website at www.blueprinteducation.org. You will find their course catalog in the student section. A Blueprint counselor will be available to answer any questions you may have and will also work with your school counselor to facilitate the transference of Blueprint's credits to your home school.

Hopefully you find this information helpful and once again, should you have any other questions, please contact me.

Thanks,
Trevor Terry
