Re:Come volunteer programming in Peru (Score 1)

So I think I may have just replied anonymously (oops)... This looks amazing, and I want to do it. How does the program work? I would be looking to do this over the coming summer (between my third and fourth years in college). I am an undergrad at U of Chicago, hoping to get a PhD after I finish up here. Basically, I have two questions. 1) Would I be shooting myself in the foot in terms of applications to grad schools doing this instead of researching at CMU for the summer, and 2) how do I know if I am qualified? I have good grades, some research experience, I teach kids math currently in both fourth and eigth-grade classrooms (and, formerly, in a Spanish-speaking classroom). As you might imagine, this sounds like a blast and I would like to do it.
