There was time for networking - these people are all connected in some way

The Last Hand Washing Review before the celebration next Monday.
Walking through the mud to get to Raimunda's to check out the new Pulperia.
Raimunda, Karen and I.
The “girls” are not laying particularly well at the moment in spite of having a boyfriend. It might have something to do with the transition of the food. Adin and the kids have started to grind corn and add greens etc. to it. They them mix it with the purchased concentrate. They have also learned how to grow larva which the chickens particularly like. Adin and the students will continue to work towards more economical food sources in the interest of sustainability.
I have just given them the go ahead to purchase 30 pullets. We’ll see how that helps the amount available for supplementary food for the kids and supporting the expenses.
We delivered some of the field dressing bags that we brought and discussed some possibilities of developing a Tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment program for San Jose. We sure would like to pursue a community health TB program.
Prep for our trip to El Chilar tomorrow… enlisting the kids help to fill baggies with trail mix for the students at the school.
