| Enid and Jack at Los Danzantes |
There is no way to fully thank Enid and Jack Dollard for all they have done to ensure our trip was a smooth running and meaningful as it has been. Enid planned every detail, exposed us to one cultural experience after another, taught us to navigate the Mexican public transportation system and allowed us to get to make personal connections with individual Oaxacans rather than just be observers. Personally, knowing she had taken the time to plan such a smooth running trip for the students, allowed Carmen and me to fully engage with the culture of Oaxaca, too. We also thank Jack for keeping us laughing, sharing his art with us and being such a great sport as Enid spent countless hours away from him to guide us through such an amazing experience!!
If you are inspired by our work and Enid's deep love of Oaxaca, consider donating to
Libros Para Pueblos - the organization she helps run and installs libraries around Oaxaca, including the Watkinson funded library in Ocotlan.
Again, as I write this entry less than 12 hours from leaving Oaxaca, thank you to Enid, Jack and the generous people of Oaxaca. We are all better for having worked and lived with you!!!

Thank you, Jack and Enid, for making this trip possible and wonderful! We will certainly support Libros Para Pueblos and urge others to do so as well.
