Bienvenidos to my Blog!

Hello Family, Friends, and Curious Readers,

Thanks for stopping in to see what I am up to. This is my first blog, and I hope not to bore you too much with the details of my life. But rather hope to offer you some insights into development work, the highs, the lows, and well the boring.

But before I move away for 27 months, let me give you a little information about myself before I lose a steady internet connection.

So after graduating from Boston College in 2005, I decided I wanted to learn Spanish and "save the world" so I moved to Cusco, Peru. I began by volunteering for The Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco by researching and writing a small business plan for the organization. I continued to work with the organization until February of 2008, when I returned to the US to prepare for my move to Madrid, Spain for 15 months to study an International MBA at IE Business School. And now, after a year of searching for the perfect development job, and taking odd jobs in the meantime, I have joined the Peace Corps and am volunteering again. So wish me luck, and PLEASE someone stop me from volunteering again!

Municipal Competition Pictures

Here are pictures from the municipal business plan competition we held this past Wednesday. I figured it would be more interesting to see rather than read!

Students from INEP explaining their product to a teacher

Don Limon relaxing before their presentation

Crema de Chocolate y Mani ~ Delicias They won second place

Getting the puppy ready for the dog salon presentation

The judges working hard to review business plans

Natural Shampoo

Chilero del Norte's Presentation (They made a lime based vinegar)

Questions from the judges

Mochibolosos "Be Cool" This group made a reversible backpack/shoulder bag

Modeling the shoulder bag


I actually have more pictures, I just need to get them from a fellow teacher. My camera battery died mid competition, but I will do a special feature on both the first and second place teams (those I am taking to the regional competition) now!. Keep making good choices! Love yas

    Looks like they came up with some interesting products. Love the versatility of the backpack/shoulder bag.
