Volcanos, Stoves, and Soy Beans!

Hike up Volcano Izalco with some old friends from GW. Great views from the crater included the Pacific coast halfway across the country, Lake Coatepeque (a pristine near-by crater lake), and Brendan sucking-in and flexing for the camera.





Community women stirring the soy milk.


A buffet of soy!


Straining the soy milk.




At a three-day training with two members of my community learning to build more efficient wood stoves that cut down on firewood use (and thus, deforestation, mud slides, erosion, falling soil quality, etc.) and harmful and unhealthy smoke in the kitchen
