Magdalena Makes it Big!


My first day in Carmen Pampa was marked by a wonderful event. Magdalena Colque defended her thesis succesfully and received her degree in Veterinary Science from the UAC. Her family and friends travelled from afar to support her and were very proud of her achievements. We celebrated with a lovely almuerzo meal during which her mother, Basilia shared her pride in her daughter and Magda shared her excitement in her future spreading her knowledge with people in her pueblo and her future as a professional.

WOW! The picture of Magda with her thesis--that is SO amazing, for so many reasons. A major testament to you, Hugh, for helping her achieve it! Felicidades to you both.
