Spring 2015 Week 7

This week proved to be a little more difficult as we taught the financial and cash flow sections of the course. It's important to simplify the teaching to the very basics when teaching these concepts because the people had a really hard time. One thing we've learned is to always use real business idea examples in anything that we teach including including the financial section of 6.1. Using real ideas from people in the class allows everyone to participate more and they seem to grasp the material better using this method.

New students continue to show up especially in Huancaquito. It's important to continue to bring copies of past home works because you never know how many new people could show up to any given class. We've been very impressed with everyone's ideas and thoughts, but we need to find a way to better motivate them to do the homework.

This weekend we traveled up north through a town called Piura. On our way we went through Paita and to a beach called Colán. It was beautiful and the sand had far less rocks than the sand in Huanchaco. While were there a girl got stung when she stepped on a sting ray, which made us a little skeptical to venture to far out into the ocean.

We continued up north and stayed in a town called Los Organos which is a cool little pueblo along the cost. Early Sunday morning we went down to a pier where we were able to contract a boat and go swim with sea turtles. It has been one of the most amazing touristic experiences we've had so far. It was definitely worth it. We traveled on a few different bus lines and would highly recommend spending the extra fifteen soles to have a more comfortable seat; we were definitely tired upon arriving back in Trujillo. Overall it was an awesome way to end a great week.
