Summer in Bolivia: On the Streets
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2011/06/on-streets.html
Wednesday, June 15, 2011. The first example of politeness I experienced this year: When Kati and I got to the Cochabamba airport, Jennifer met us with a carload of street kids, and Elena and Kaley picked us up in the Casa de Amor truck. The boys carried our suitcases and loaded them into the truck. Picture stolen from Kati :p). It's funny to me because usually I just ignore it and keep walking, but they have to say something back in my (or Jen's) defense. June 16, 2011 at 12:13 PM. Its absolutely crucial...

Summer in Bolivia: I'm back!
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2011/06/im-back.html
Thursday, June 2, 2011. Most of you already know that I'm spending another summer in Cochabamba, Bolivia, but this trip is different than last year's. Last summer I spent 3 months here working as a volunteer at a children's home called Casa de Amor, which was started by Jennifer Thompson, a family friend from my old church. I lived with a host family and worked at Casa de Amor almost every day. June 6, 2011 at 1:12 PM. Sounds like a plan! Do the children that are still there remember you from last year?

Summer in Bolivia: I went to jail....
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-went-to-jail.html
Thursday, June 16, 2011. I went to jail. Yesterday I went inside a Bolivian jail for the first time. Don't worry, I wasn't arrested :P Jen and I went in to visit a guy named Cesar whose birthday was yesterday! We took him a cake, which drew a little crowd of some of Jen's street friends who are in the jail as well as some newer jail friends. After that, we went up to the room where Jen's sick friend lives. It's so interesting to me that we could just walk around anywhere we wanted in the jail! Oh and als...

Summer in Bolivia: July 2011
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 7, 2011. My family has sponsored this little girl from CDA House 2 since I came here last year, so I wanted to take her out for a fun day! AM and me during the bus ride. And with Kaley's suggestion, since AM is super active and can be a handful, I took another sweet girl, S, along and made it a girls' day! Leaving the house- these were their first poses when I took out my camera. The girls had fun feeding and watching the birds, and I loved watching them having so much fun! Next was lunch ...

Summer in Bolivia: Birthdays at Casa de Amor
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2011/06/birthdays-at-casa-de-amor.html
Saturday, June 25, 2011. Birthdays at Casa de Amor. Birthdays are always fun and special for the kids at CDA. Since I've been here, there have been 2 birthdays. One was for M of House 2 (7 years), and the other was for R of House 1 (2 years). For M's birthday, the volunteers took all the kids from House 2, plus 1 kid from House 1 and another from House 3 (a total of 14 kids), BOWLING! We started our party with cake, which the birthday boy helped make and decorate! The birthday boy on his turn.

Summer in Bolivia: March 2010
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. If you're reading this, you probably already know at least a little about my trip to Bolivia. But I'm going to write about it here anyway for those of you who don't. I'm going to Cochabamba, Bolivia for 3 months this summer to volunteer at Casa de Amor, a home for babies and children. The home (it's actually 3 separate homes) was started and is directed by Jennifer, a family friend. To learn more about it, you can go to the CDA website. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Summer in Bolivia: May 2010
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Because my neck/shoulders were tense and knotted up from my uncomfortable sleeping positions on the planes. After that I went to bed. Then we talked until bedtime. They're only 3 months old and soooo sweet! While waiting (kind of cheesy, but a really good movie with a good message- totally recommend it). They got home around 11, then Tom took Olivia's family home then dropped me off at my house. I got home around 11:30 and went to bed right away (SO TIRED). Monday, May 24, 2010.

Summer in Bolivia: Week 1
http://hannahincochabamba.blogspot.com/2011/06/week-1.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Well, I've been here almost a week. It's been pretty crazy so far, but today I decided to sit down and write. Here at Casa de Amor House 1 where I'm staying, all the kids and tias have been going through a scabies. Epidemic. It spreads easily and takes a ton of work to get rid of, so they hadn't been able to properly eliminate it.until this last weekend. It was a fun day and I was so happy to spend time with Maite and Teresa again! June 7, 2011 at 11:28 AM. June 7, 2011 at 11:55 AM.
