Well, to be honest, I wasn’t literally in a Board Room this week; I’m still here in La Paz. BUT, we did have our monthly Board of Directors meeting this past Tuesday, which those meetings are always productive. I’ve really come to appreciate the people on Pidola’s Board, both professionally and personally. They have a […]
Well, it’s been another busy, but good week down here in Bolivia. As I mentioned last week, I had my mom and aunt here to visit me for a couple weeks. We checked off Lake Titicaca, and we visited Salar de Uyuni (aka Salt Flats) this week. I have to say, if you ever have the […]

Monthly Updates – October
The Solar + Storage + Internet Program for rural Bolivian schools is structured to support communities that are experiencing impacts of poor health, inadequate access to clean water, lack of tools to remain sustainable, and is providing access to resources to be able to grow, succeed, and continue to thrive in a modern world. With […]
It’s been a busy week, both from a personal and professional standpoint. First, my mom and aunt are in Bolivia to visit me and are here until next week. It’s always great to see family, no matter where in the world you are. But, for me, it was especially nice to have them visit; it’s been hard being […]
Well, the infinite insanity continues here in La Paz. Most comes from the external environment, but sometimes it’s self-inflicted. The other day, I was on my way to the bank and realized that I didn’t have my house keys. I started checking my pockets, started back-tracking my route, but couldn’t find them. I thought to myself, “they’re gone; there’s […]
We had two key meetings this week. We were initially planned for four, but as most of us know, scheduling conflicts happen. The first was with our legal team, Guevara & Gutierrez SC, or GG Lex for short. As I’ve mentioned previously, they have graciously provided us with pro bono work for over a year. As those initial efforts […]
As I’ve mentioned previously, I take Spanish classes here in La Paz. Every day, 8-10a, (almost) religiously. Since I was basically starting from scratch with the language, it’s been painful at times. To be honest, it’s painful all day, every day. Even just getting a haircut is stressful. But, over the last couple of weeks, I’ve finally been able to […]
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been a bit constricted to my little neighborhood; Sopocachi. The reason local travel hasn’t been very feasible is El Teleferico (the gondola that runs all over La Paz) was closed for servicing. Which is okay but hinders getting to a few key places for work. Also, and the most un-nerving […]
