Jorie and Tandana

Continuing on that day in Minas Chupa, here is a beautiful shot of the community as we are approaching it from the bumpy dirt road. Yes, that is the community's school, perched like an eagle on the side of this steep mountain overlooking the valley below. I'm not sure that any other elementary school in the world has a better view from their classrooms.













Here are all the students from the school, lining up to be given anti-parasite medication. We used to call it "de-worming" when we gave similar medications to our cattle. Somehow that seems inappropriate when used with people. 














Jorie was a great help. She sat at a little desk and handed out the parasite pills for the kids to take.














Some kids had a hard time swallowing the pill. So Jorie would break off a little piece of bread and, when the kid wasn't looking, stuff the pill into the middle of the bread and give it to the kid. All the kids loved bread and would devour it with the pill inside.
