National Census

Rachel (our neighbor and adopted family member) and Paul playing skip-bo Sunday evening after spending the day at our houses due to a national census for the country of Peru. Each house in all of Peru (approximately 3million people) was visited and data collected concerning number of people in the home, education level, type of house, residency history, etc...

We continue to wait for news concerning another strike that could occur within the next couple of weeks for the Pucallpa area. The local government in now in Lima discussing possible options, so hopefully a compromise can be met. We spent Wednesday and Thursday last week in our house due to a temporary strike. There were no classes in the schools and no public transportation. If there is another strike it will probably last much longer and be more disruptive.
