We feel very fortunate to have had such a competent guide. She was respectful, humorous, clear, organized, fun, informative, sensitive, helpful, caring, etc. She put  200% of herself into this job.

Our hotel hosts, were incredibly wonderful! They are earnest, hardworking, curious, sincere, and well intentioned. I felt safe at all times in the hotel. The Globe Aware website prepared me well for the limitations in San Pedro de Casta; such as, only cold running water, cold climate, and limited conveniences so far as telephones, shopping, etc. Given all of this, the hotel created a really great community space for our group to hang-out, re-group, eat, etc.

The fairly complete immersion was what I like most about the program. I loved opening the door and walking out into the courtyard where women were cooking and sorting herbs, etc. The Lorena Stove Project was a simple thing that offered so much and allowed us to be with the locals in their homes. I really enjoyed this.Very Special. Thank you for your great vision and hard work.
