So tomorrow marks our first official week working in the rural community of Occoruro. We've been doing some really great projects like building alacenas (shelves on which families can place their pots/pans/dishes to keep them off the dirt floor) using barro (mud/hair/straw combo) and adobes, constructing clean burning stoves, sewing the curtains for the alacenas, and finished lining the eco-refrigerators. The town is truly beautiful (it's surrounded by gorgeous mountains) and the people that we've met so far have been amazing. I can't wait to get to know the townspeople better and to continue to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Next week we start teaching in the schools and having health charlas in Occoruro. We we we we so excited :)
