Ann came to Lima in 2006 to volunteer with SOLAC, spending four weeks working in Colegio Alto Peru, and producing a pair of short films. She returned in 2007 to study at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru for a semester. During that time, she continued her work in Colegio Alto Peru, developing an after-school art program. She also traveled with SOLAC staff to Tupe, where she filmed and produced "Tupe: The Forgotten".
