We finished the fogon today but it took all day. Andrea and I think it took so long because we are in the process of teaching Nelson, her host uncle, how to build fogons.

Today we started building our second fogon. It took us a very long time to get the tools we needed because we had to ask different people if we could borrow them. I think we will finish it tomorrow.

(If you look closely you can see the needle in his hand)
Today I found a pique in my foot and we had to go back to the doctor's again to get it removed.

Today my partner found Pique(a parasitic worm) in her foot and we had to go to the Doctor's office to get it removed. It took up the entire day

We built our first fogon today with the help of local community members.

Today we had our first Charla on Nutrition and Eating a balanced diet. I think we did a good job because the kids said that they learned a lot.

Today I woke up with a very bad cold and my mom told me to stay in bed and sleep all day. She told me that everyone gets sick when it rains. They think I have swime flu and keep bringing me strange tea drinks. I hope I get better soon.

Today it rained so much it woke me up in the morning. We had to cancel our charla because Paraguayans never go out in the rain. Andrea and I discovered that on Monday we are building our first stove. We also learned that one of the community's schools doesn't have a fogon and everyone wants us to build one. I think we found our CBI(Community based intiative.)
