Becca In Perú

Welcome to my blog! This page is to share with you some of my life experiences here in Peru. Feel free to browse through my articles posted. It is a lot of what I see, hear, and observe, as well as my thoughts and inspirations from it. It may not accurately represent the culture in which I am living, as it is through my eyes and not theirs, but it may give you a little taste of Peru and my life here.

Video from Huaycan Charla

This is a video clip that has taken me forever to get up on here! One: I'm a baby in the art of videography and editing. My first attempt, after many hours on my freedays, the video was too long to be uploaded onto the sites. I found that out the hard way! Two: My computer has been on the fritz. I've been without it on many occasions now as it has been in the lab (so to say). It'd get better, work for a week, and then go on the fritz again. Anyways, so now I have my computer back, and this first day of having it, I was able to reedit and now get it posted for you all.

Enough said on that.

This clip is just to give you a little taste of my life here in Lima. I have 3 health charla (talks) a month, at least, in different areas where we work. The clip is from a health charla in Huaycan about 3 months ago. That evening I was teaching more in my series of nutrition, and what is a balanced diet. For a culture who has a very high carb diet (and in that I mean rice and potatoes are always together on their plates), knowing what a balanced meal is has been challenging. When I show a balanced meal with only potatoes, they ask, "And where is the rice???" I also have a spiritual application part of my health charlas. In this video clip, the pastor's wife, Reyna helped me in teaching them about putting this lesson in practice.

I hope you enjoy this video!
