Please make sure you keep Naz and Don Simon appraised of all that is happening in Yulias including your conversation with Diego. You could not have a better "carrot-and-stick" handed you! The people of Yulias are doing all the work and asking for your help. If the people of Temux are going to allow one or two members of their community to sabatoge the whole community and prevent 18 months of planning and projects from happening because of their ego and greed, that is their (community)choice. They will reap the consequences - which ever choice they make.

The Peace Corp will direct you and Emily to serve the people who want what you offer and are willing to WORK TOGETHER to make it happen. Bascilio will have your back on that. Let Bascilio convey that message to elders of Temux and Manuel - you have no say in the matter. The whole community will KNOW that Bascillio (and not Manuel) is your boss!

My gut feeling is there will be a significant change in Temux.

Keep you heads low and your powder dry, Kids! Don't forget, "Know and USE your resources!"

That being said, "Be Prepared" for some bumps in Yulias also.

Love You!
