Sorry for the delay

I hope my long hiatus from blogging hasn't discouraged you and caused me to lose all my readers...I have excuses! Good excuses! First of all, I finished my mammoth of a 3-month project: writing my community diagnostic for Aurahua. This leviathan of a document totaled a whopping 109 pages and included informal and formal interviews with townspeople, doctors, teachers, and government authorities, youth survey data and house survey data, heath data from the past two years, and my own analyses and conclusions. Oh, and I wrote two copies, on in English and one in Spanish. That brings the actual grand total to 218 pages. Can you see why I wasn't exactly in the mood to write much? Well, in any case the diagnostic is done and over with, so hopefully I'll be back to blogging regularly. Thanks for your patience!
