Mas photos.....

1. A group photo after we hiked atop one of the mountains behind Huehue. Pictured is our ecological guide, Cesar, who is telling us of the flora and fauna of the area and preparing us for our field trip into Chimalacatlan the next day.
2. In Chimalacatlan, we visited the local school where the children have a real teacher as well as an interactive projection screen, which is a new technology for the pueblo as of this year. We were shown up by the children's ability to use the touch pad. It was so strange to see such new technology in a town otherwise very poor.
3. Hiking up the mountains (some of us on horseback/muleback) to visit an ancient cave where the locals yearly prey to their wind god to bring rains for growing in the rainy season.
4. An example of some of the small group work we have done to learn the decision making process.
5. As one group work activity, a local drummer taught us some rhythms. The energy was definitely flowing by the end of our jam session.
6. Prepping the work site for the future recycling center.
7. More of the site
