Two more

Today were two more research project defenses -- and two more graduates!

In the morning was Cristina Mamani, who did her project about using papaya seeds to cure amoebas and nematodes (were effective against Entamoeba histolytica amoebas). Her whole family came from teh community of San Juan de Coripata, 2 hours away in an old truck.

Then in the afternoon, Nancy Chambilla defended her project about improving coffee prodution by adding a fermentation aid to coffee during its fermentation process to improve coffee quality (20 cc per kilogram was most effective).
