My name is Gabriela Balicas and I am a senior from Duncan at Rice University. This summer I served with Projects Abroad in Cochabamba, Bolivia for 10 weeks. I worked with disadvantaged children at Centro de Nutrición Infantil Albina, a nutritional clinic based in Cochabamba as part of the Nutrition Project. The aim of this project was to battle malnutrition in children of up to 5 years of age. In addition, I worked to increase nutritional awareness in the community by holding workshops for the parents of the interned children.
Here you can find some reflections I’ve had throughout this experience.
