Chiclayo Employer Visits

We got in late last night, and went nonstop today, visiting with employers most of the time.  I'm exhausted, so I asked to skip out on dinner (since dinners with these very friendly and talkative people go so late, and trying to follow the spanish all day is exhausting). 

Juvissa told me I will be talking to a group of 900 college students on Friday. 

UMB students between classes

Pulache, our Internet guy.  Many of the streets look like this.  A former Mayor had them torn up as part of a renovation project.  That mayor was impeached, and the project was never completed.  (As a side note, David Cornejo, president and CEO of UMB, is running for Mayor.  He is a former State Senator.)

Pomegranates
a couple of different kinds of taxis in front of a nicer hospital (those who can't afford this hospital go to the one in yesterday's post - it is much larger)

LDS Employment with Jose, a stake employment specialist.  There are 5 stakes, and about 5,000 active members of the LDS church in Chiclayo.




Lunch

This is how the interns get around most of the time
One of our employer visits was the top floor of this building.

Justin and two interns, Adam and Fernando, discussing ideas for their Center for Entrepreneurship.   Notice the sign on the wall with their names.  These guys are already official.
