Good morning all! We are are well here in Chicuque and following a week of work, we enjoyed some cultural experiences over the weekend. Not sure we got any rest, but it was different from the work we do during the week. In regard to the women's project, we have found some good things are happening, but also many challenges. Laura has really dived in and engaged with the women by teaching some clever new ideas using materials available locallly and really engaging with them in relationship. She is a delight to watch in action and a challenge for me to keep up with! Doug, Kirsten, and Maranda also spent some time with the ladies - singing, dancing, and working on ideas.The business class did not turn out to be the best fit for the ladies, so we will work with them in some other ways, but Jackie got them off to a good start thinking about business matters. Nica is helping with the translating. For those of you who know Beatrice and Ernesto and the twin Nellie and Nelsa, she is a younger sister.

I know you are all praying for the team and for the people of Chicuque and I thank you so much. We are seeing soooooo many fruits of the seeds that were planted by those who have been here previously.
