Today was our first day for our project in Chichicastenango. We traveled to a village outside of Chichicastenango to conduct water testing. Last year GE 352 installed a water quality monitoring device. We recorded data from the apparatus and introduced ourselves to the villagers. Next the class traveled to a orphanage in Lemoa, a town about 10 miles from Chichicastenango. At the village, we took more water quality data. Then of course we all took some time to play with the kids. The orphanage houses 16 kids from the ages of 1 to 18 years old. They were all well behaved and happy to have us to play with. After the long day, we returned back to Chichicastenango for some rest. No one was too sad to miss the first day of classes since the weather has been so nice.
P.S. Chichicastenango sounds like one of those places in the AT&T commercials. Maybe tomorrow the students will check in from New Sanfrakota.
