I forgot to mention some logistical things when updating my blog posts..so here you go 🙂
We started with 50 Ecuador fellows at Stanford.
Â
Our cohort of 50 was split into the Northern Hub and Southern Hub.
I am in the South. In the Southern Hub, there are three groups of 10 each. My group (the best group) had Diana as our team leader!!
Â
I live in Ricaurte, in the Province of Azuay. It’s about 20 minutes from the hub city of Cuenca.
My family is wonderful, consisting of my parents, 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Every weekend we play volleyball at abuelita’s with my host mom’s 10 siblings and their spouses/children. Below is Mayra (my sister), Santi and Romi (my cousins), and Andres (my nephew). Some of many.
Â
My apprenticeship is at the Centro de Infantil del Buen Vivir de Ricaurte. Here’s a sneak peek:

And a fun fact: I’ve found Indian, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese restaurants in Cuenca!!
