Upon arrival in the community, the team was visited by the Child Coalition of Apillapampa.

The kids got in on the work action long enough to have their photo taken. Some kids joined in the work of shifting sand and carrying loads of sand and gravel to the building site.

Jerri had the chance to get together with her sponsored child.

The FHI staff living and working in Apillapampa introduced the team to some of the age-old culture of the Bolivian Andes.


Clark made himself a twin here when Pablo agreed to give up his hair for $100 to be spent for supplies for two of the poorest families in the area.

The FHI team against the professors turned out to be a less than victorious story for the most part, but it was a great afternoon of games with the whole community of Hornoma.
The grand finale of the trip was a Bolivian style wedding for Clark and Otie. They are with the professors here who prepared all the food for the celebrations.
Otie's entourage took a moment to pose in their wedding finery.
