Back to work!

Adam and I are busy working after coming back from our amazing vacation.

I don't know how you feel, but for me, January is already flying.

I found out I did not get into some medical schools, but I'm still waiting to hear from others and I am hopeful and trusting in the process.

Ollantaytambo just had a massive celebration for Three Kings Day on January 6. The town has been bustling with dances, fireworks, and churros. See below for some of the costumes worn during the dances in the street.

Adam is busy catching up from some of his time off and it looks like he'll be back in the US in March for a big natural food expo called Expo West. There, he will get to represent some amazing new products from Windy City Organics.

Pending medical school interview invites, I will be in the US in February/March as well.

We look forward to having some visitors soon in March and April and we'll keep you updated!

Health day on Friday, January 10, for our health promoters and their families in the SVH office

Ollantaytambo  celebration for Three Kings Day. I drank some frutellada, or as we call it here "streetcha" (street chicha), and did not get sick at all! Amazing! My GI system has prepared itself, I think, for success.

A proud moment for me! My health promoter Teresa's skills are being put to work with my boss, Keri, as she helps to clean a real wound from a man who had fallen off of his motorcycle
