Day 19 We woke up again to rain.  This was supposed to be the dry season, but the weather this year is strange.  Still, water is a precious resource and Mexico is happy to have it.  I wanted to take a shower and so after Gio turned on the gas that was supposed to start heating the water, I waited awhile and then went to shower.  Well, apparently there was no …

We started the day with an introduction to communication skills presented by Kathleen Sartor, one of the lead faculty and site hosts. The material she presented is from the nonviolence training developed by the M. L. King center and used to train individuals and organizations in non violent demonstrations against human rights …
