The summer flew by faster than we anticipated, and now we have a lot of catching up to do! Sorry for not giving everyone an update during our trip. 

To accommodate our constantly fluctuating schedules, we decided to go to Peru in May this year instead of our typical July/August trip. Our time in Puno flew by, but we still managed to get a lot done--here's a brief summary of what we accomplished.


This year we had 6 students go on the trip--Michelle, Michelle (yes, two Michelles!), Andrea, Natalia, Sam, and Michael. We returned to Huanuscuro and found out that everyone was busier than we anticipated. May is harvest season, so everyone in the community seemed to be just as busy working on their land as we were building stoves everyday. We managed to install about 30 stoves, matching how many we built on our 2012 trip.




We also went back to teach English at the "InstituciĆ³n Educativa Primaria Intercultural en Puno". The kids were excited to see us back in Puno and we were able to help them continue learning the basics of English. 


We'll update with another post with everyone's favorite trip memory. Check back soon!
