The meeting
....and these are the dancers!
And the public loved us!!!
The meeting started with a dance performance, these are the musicians...
La reuni�n empez� con una presentaci�n de la danza guerrera, que viene desde la �poca de la Conquista de los Espa�oles. Primero bailaron para nosotros, despues nos invitaron a bailar junto. Al p�blico les estaba gustando much�simo! Y claro, a nosotros tambi�n.
Here I am again...
The meeting with the comunity leaders. I am sitting on the right to translate between Spanish and English, as well as between the American culture and Quechua culture.
The man with the blue baseball cap is the community's president.
Tammy and Chie, paying attention.
The meeting

La reuni�n
La reuni�n con la gente de Huaripampa estaba bien interesante. Las contradicciones con lo que nos habian dicho la gente de la mina eran enormes. Claro que esto estaba m�s o menos esperado, pero las diferencias eran muy grandes y eso hizo que su viaje de los estudiantes gan� m�s valor.
Arriba se v� que yo estoy traduciendo todo, no solamente del ingl�s al Castellano, sino tambi�n de la cultura de los americanos a la cultura de los campesinos, ida y vuelta. Fue una experiencia muy fuerte y interesante para m� tambi�n.
The meeting with the community leadership was actually really interesting. The contradictions with what the miners had told us, with what we were hearing from the communites now, were huge. This of course, made that the trip of the students proved to be worth making it. There is still a lot to do in the area of Corporate Social Responsability of Peruvian companies.
