> I got a call at last minute telling me that the teachers in Coporaque (Colca Canyon) didn't think taking time away from their class for me to teach English was "worth it", even though the kids don't have English. If the situation isn't resolved by next week, I'm going there myself to talk to the director.
> We are doing a Health Project with the kids in San Isido where medical students have volunteered to help us discover if the kids of San Isidro are living with parasites or not. This means that the kids have to give us a stool deposit and then it will be sent to the lab. However, none of the parents want their kids to participate because, outside of the cities, many Peruvians don't trust Western medicine. They'd rather send their kids to a Shaman. So, soon, we are going to go door-to-door to gain the trust of the parents.
> The teachers at the school in San Isidro "didn't want to come" this week, so they decided that school would start for them next week - despite every other public school starting this week.
We were all complaining in the meeting and Leonel stopped us and just said: "Persigan". Basically, keep on fightin'...
And, oh yeah (ENJOY!):
