Lesson 1

Wrapping up

Today is my last day in Tarapoto this year and I've been blessed with these 2 months of working with and getting to know Jose and others in this jungle city. In the work of A_Rocha, Jose took the lead on the educational and inspiration programs with the church and the schools, but I was able to...

Chazuta

Visited the town of Chazuta, a beautiful but poor village a couple of hours away along a bad dirt road that follows the river valleys down into the lower Amazon. Accompanied by Irma, a nurse working in a_mission at a church in Tarapoto, who I met through another friend I know from last year...

Life in Tarapoto

It's been over 2 weeks since I've been here in Tarapoto and feel like I'm starting to settle in and appreciate the rhythm of life here. Think I'd like it better if there was less motorcycle traffic but I still prefer these to cars. In a typical day, I walk about 5 blocks from my room to the...
