Conference~Day 1

Finally did what I "came here to do"... prEsent!

The sun came up so early I was up and going by 6:30 when I could have had at least another hour. Probably part of it was nerves, but once we got down in the conference room, saw the people and got going, I seriously wasn't nervous at all. In this photo I'm teaching about social change, a four part model, the first part being fundamental skills. Pretty fun~

Lynley recruited us all to help her with small groups

to identify Peru's top 10 public health concerns.

My group of women were so great.

Way organized and listened to every member in the circle.

Hey Ty, one lady asked me what time it was and I didn't

know how to say 12. So...I counted up to 11

(this is so embarrassing) and got across that I wanted '12'

then I got to say y media!!!!

Then, I got to talk to someone in French in the elevator,

so I felt redeemed of my language skills.

Surprise! Anne Marie found a market and bought...

brAcelets!

...and this is only one day's attempt.

Brian bought this awesome hat.

Had to try it on.
