Now that school is back in session, it has been much easier to do my research. Here at Quillacas, we quickly aranged an impromptu meeting of women quinoa growers and the Dirigentes Originarios.
I also was able to meet with the high school seniors and teach them to administer my circels of sustainability surveys. The students surveyed over 57 community members in just 10 days! I donated 300Bs to their end of the year school trip as a thank-you for their good work.
