A South Dakota Shout Out

By Alisha

It is time for a brief South Dakota shout out. I believe that I mentioned Jason, a volunteer in my group (Peru 11) from Mitchell, South Dakota, in an earlier blog entry. Well, a couple of months ago he came across the best hat ever made and purchased one for himself and one for me. Why this hat was in a market in Ancash, Peru is a mystery as is the meaning of “Westguje Fashions.” I love it!


Last month, Micah and I were on the hunt for Christmas presents for our host family. We thought a puzzle would be a good gift for our host brother and sister since we wanted to give them somthing that we could do with them. We happened to find the perfect puzzle in a grocery store in Chiclayo. I couldn’t imagine passing up the amazing opportunity to buy a Mount Rushmore puzzle! After four days of solid work we now have a Mt. Rushmore puzzle (minus one missing piece). I'm now on the hunt for more South Dakota merchandise in Peru.
