This morning, the team will begin the real work. They will leave the city of Santa Cruz, and the nice hotel that we've heard about, and head to the "campo", the countryside.
I did receive an email yesterday from Tara, one of the other women from West Puget Sound Women of Purpose:

"Hi friends: Well we made it in one piece!! What an amazing place. The people are so great here. Everyone we have met has been so friendly despite the language barrier.
We have spent the last few days in Santa Cruz in a very nice hotel while we have been acclimated to the surroundings. Yesterday we met the Bolivian teams that do all the loan processing for the locals. They are a great group of people. We have been given so much information that it´s a bit overwhelming. There is such a need here. My eyes have really been opened to the difference in lifestyle here. I knew it was going to be different, but it amazes me how kids are all over with no adult supervision. They will be playing in the streets while their parents are selling stuff on the side walk.
Today we are gong to church. Should be in interesting in Spanish!! I have so much to tell you about.
Thank you for your support and prayers. Keep them coming. So far we have been blessed. No one is sick or injured. Thank you again.
Take care, God Bless you,
Tara "
