 Hi! My name is Marion. I'm an NDMU student, and I'm studying physics and engineering. Yesterday we arrived in Lima, and we passed today at UNIFÉ. There was a presentation about the school, its history and mission, and one about the project that we'll be participating in, the artificial wetlands in Cieneguilla. We also took a tour of campus.

Painting storm drains with reminders such as “A healthy harbor starts here” or “Drains to our harbor” is one way to increase awareness that our activity on campus impacts the health of the Inner Harbor.  As a service project, we participated in the “Stencil a Storm Drain” program sponsored by Blue Water Baltimore. Dr. Engel attended a stenciling workshop which entitled us to borrow a stencil kit. UNIFE-NDMU students formed three teams to clean the storm drains with wire brushes. After a lot of muscle power (and a little assistance from a power tool), the next task was to design the layout. Finally we took turns painting. Next time you travel along the road that runs between the soccer field and the stream take a look at our messages!

The NDMU-UNIFE exchange program has a goal to provide education in water and environmental science. To date, we have had lectures by the Sierra Club and Blue Water Baltimore, we sailed on the Chesapeake Bay, and we explored a park with a former reservoir at its center. Today Kelly Lindow, Professional Engineer and owner of CityScape Engineering, spoke to the students about her undergraduate and graduate studies as well as her career path. Kelly’s passion for solving stormwater problems brought her to Baltimore.

El Sr. Espinoza mostró a las visitantes una serie de impresos de diferentes épocas y temas ilustrando así la historia del libro con volúmenes de la biblioteca. Cuando le preguntaron cuál de esos libros era su favorito, el Sr. Espinoza dijo que para él era especial la edición de Moby Dick de Melville, pues el autor hace alusión al monumento a George Washington situado al lado de la biblioteca Peabody en Mount Vernon, Baltimore.

La Biblioteca George Peabody es una biblioteca de colecciones especiales del Instituto Peabody de la Universidad Johns Hopkins en Mount Vernon. Cuenta con más de 300,000 volúmenes y es una biblioteca no circulante abierta al público.

 The UNIFÉ and NDMU students attended a pleasant guided tour by Paul Espinoza, librarian at the George Peabody Library.

Mr. Espinoza showed visitors a series of prints from different eras and themes illustrating the history of the book with volumes from the library. When asked which of those books was his favorite, Mr. Espinoza said that the Moby Dick edition of Melville was special for him, since the author refers to the George Washington monument located next to the Peabody library in Mount Vernon, Baltimore.

The George Peabody Library is a library of special collections of the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University in Mount Vernon. It has more than 300,000 volumes and is a non-circulating library open to the public.
