DukeEngage: Peru 2011: June 2011
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Sunday, June 12, 2011. The New "Sad House". For the Stoves group, we travel to Janahuara or Cotohuinchu every workday, divide ourselves into groups of three or four, and each team hikes to their respective house to (hopefully) complete a stove. Each group hopes that their house will hold all of the necessary materials, smooth, pebble-less mud, and a cooperative family. More than anything, each groups will hope that they are not working at a "sad house". Thursday, June 9, 2011.

DukeEngage: Peru 2011: How to Produce a Stool Sample
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-produce-stool-sample.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Thursday, June 2, 2011. How to Produce a Stool Sample. After finishing my business I employ the Popsicle stick to scoop a sizable stool sample into the container. I emerge victoriously and proudly hand my container of poo to the lady. Posted by Dave Balthazar. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

DukeEngage: Peru 2011: The 14 year old porter
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011/06/14-year-old-porter.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Friday, June 3, 2011. The 14 year old porter. In life, there are those who come and go, and those who make an indelible (and positive) impression. Most times, those in the latter are role models, or loved ones. Rarely does one encounter someone of the latter whom he’s met once in his life, especially when that someone is only a child. Christian on the very left. (Photo by David Chou). Posted by Jun John Yoo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Or the ProWorld Peru site.

DukeEngage: Peru 2011: May 2011
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Sunday, May 22, 2011. Before our group of 11 went off to Urumbamba we stayed in Cuzco (a larger city about an hour away from Urumbamba) with the 9 Cuzco volunteers and visited various ruins in the area, the most impressive being Saqsaywaman, which have been said to be anything from an Incan fortress to a temple, although the temple hypothesis has garnered the most evidence. From above, the ruins are zigzagged, a tribute to lightning. Posted by Brynne Sekerak. In using el bañ...

DukeEngage: Peru 2011: July 2011
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Thursday, July 14, 2011. So we've been back in the US for a week. I think that this post (forgive me), is going to be one part summary, one part random thoughts, and one part advice. 6B gave us one too, and 6C gave us a beautiful ceramic bowl made in Urubamba. It was really, really touching. Also, 6B gave us a song on the environment, and on colors too! See below. (videos are a little large, maybe I'll youtube it). Figure 2: handmade satchel. The US is so clean. Modern sanit...

DukeEngage: Peru 2011: Respect and Reward
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/respect-and-reward.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Friday, July 1, 2011. So this idea's been rattling in my head for a while (to all the teachers reading this blog, this goes out to you). Respect in the classroom. The beautiful part of this, however, is that we can see how far they've progressed. I think some of you know how good it feels to see when a lesson has gotten through. That's where reward comes in, and makes my qualms about respect irrelevant! Posted by David Chou. July 1, 2011 at 3:43 PM. Or the ProWorld Peru site.

DukeEngage: Peru 2011: Election Day!
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011/06/election-day.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Sunday, June 5, 2011. Sooo, word on the street (literally) is that Ollanta won the Presidential Elections (confirmed by BBC. Let's hope he doesn't end up like Chavez? I guess either Keiko Fujimori's too young or her daddy left too much of a bad mark on Peru. Most people I've ever seen in Urubamba (because they have to come to their original town to vote). People watching at it's greatest - such a grand variety of people here. Guards everywhere (one with an AK-47?

DukeEngage: Peru 2011: I guess we're doing something right?
http://dukeengageinperu2011.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-guess-were-doing-something-right.html
Thoughts from Urubamba, Peru! Thursday, June 9, 2011. I guess we're doing something right? So our wonderful Site Coordinator, Kate, came by 711 today to talk to the teachers about a field trip we're taking the kids on next week (we're taking them to the La Salle greenhouses! That's really great to hear, and it's fantastic that we've made such a positive impression. How cool is that? Posted by David Chou. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Or the ProWorld Peru site.
