Save the Children


So on Monday I think it was Doug too me and Sally to breakfast at Alexander Coffee, which is aperantly the only place that sells/brews bolivian coffee. I got seasoned pancakes with a fruit salsa on top, there was a lot of cinnamon in them, Doug shared his Sugar and honey pancakes with me and had the rest of mine. Their coffee was SO good. I'll have to bring some home. Oh wait, my husband is an addict, I'd better not tempt him! I'll take orders though if YOU want some!! After breakfast (in which I was really really crabby!) He took us to Save the Children, where he'll be working all summer. (Winter here). Here are some pics of his building and his office. Most of the people who work there are Boliviano. There is one girl who is Boliviana and North American and Lisa who we lived with for a while is Originally from Iowa. So doug pretty much speaks spanish all day (when he actually talks to people). He is doing research right now on whether or not Bolivia is complying with rules on how to treat juveniles in the justice system. There was a law signed by numerous countries, including Bolivia, that promises to follow certain rules and regulations. So Doug is working on a paper to show the progress that Bolivia has made. Cool for him! I'm glad he's the one with 30 documents to translate, study and write about! Although, I've gotta say, being in school again is really good for my brain! I feel like I've been asleep for 4 years since I graduated. It's nice to be challenging myself again.
