This morning at training we actually got to mess around on the computers which was awesome. We worked with the word processing software and the memory software. My group going to Paucartambo, Pasco was pulled out to talk to someone who is kind of in charge of education in the region. He told us that we will be staying in a city where there are camps set up for international engineers when they came to work on the hydroelectric plant there. He told us that there is phone and internet access in the town. We are not all in the same building but we will be within walking distance which is great. We will leave on Sunday at 9 am by private van to get up to the mountains. Paucartambo is located at 9,534 ft above sea level and the weather is supposedly very nice right now. The head guy told us it is sunny very day compared to the constant clouds we have had in Lima and that the weather is not terribly cold even at night. I am very excited to get out there and start working in the schools and feel like I am helping people!
