Dr. Hoss came to Bolivia as a member of a VOSH team, in a mission of service to the needy in one of the poorest areas in La Paz. I was privileged to serve with him and other VOSH doctors, nurses, and volunteers in translating from English to Spanish and some Aymara. Circumstances also allowed me to be part in keeping a computer-based diagnosing machine functioning beyond what seemed possible, thus allowing the VOSH team to see more patients. I also helped streamline a non-medical part of the triage procedure, with good results too.
To witness these doctors and their families, foregoing vacations and even the chance to visit the many sights in Bolivia so as to be able to use every moment of their stay to serve those less lucky than themselves was quite an inspiration for me. From then on I have not missed a single volunteer medical team visit, often asking for leave from my job to be present as translator, and that is why I would appreciate we can build my schedule in such a way that I can keep doing that.

Chair,

La Paz Community Church

Mrs. Karen Isakson presides the Missions Ministry Team at La Paz Community Church. I worked with the team for several months, with the regular activities scheduled, and helping update work that had lain dormant until Mrs. Isakson revived and reorganised the Team, turning it into an effective way to channel outreach efforts from LPCC.

As my Pastor and spiritual guide, Troy has helped with counsel and support in many ways, and knows me probably better than anyone in these recent years.
I have been an active member of LPCC for the last two years, right after I came from Uruguay, and served as Member of the Beneficence and Missions Committee, Sunday School Teacher for the teenagers group, and was in charge of the sound system in the Sanctuary.

I worked one season in Wewa in 1994, as Senior Counselor, under an International Camp Counselor Program visa.
My direct supervisors were Kevin Casey (Director for Camping Activities, Orlando YMCA), Anne Marie Douglass (Camp Director, Camp Wewa), and Brian Ott (Program Director). None of them work there anymore, and I haven't been able to locate them.
Jeff Earnshaw is the current Director. He was Leadership Training Coordinator at that time, and can vouch on my skills and attitude, since we shared in varied camp responsibilities there.
Note: I have not yet been able to contact Mr. Earnshaw to ask him to be one of my references. I include YMCA Camp Wewa only as the most recent place in the States where I have worked.

Dr. Page came to Bolivia as a member of a South Carolina group of volunteer doctors to serve another very needy area close to la Paz. Again I was there as translator.

Mr. Cristian Reznicek is a member of the YCB Board of Directors, my current employers. The Board oversees my performance as Captain of the Port (harbor master) of the Bolivian Yacht Club, on Titikaka lake, "the highest nautical club in the world" at 3.810 meters over sea level (over 10.000 feet).
When it was becoming hard to get IT consulting work, the chance for a permanent job seemed attractive, added to the fact that it offered sailing opportunities, which are almost inexistent in this mountainous, land-locked country, unless it's done at this, the only yacht club in the nation.
Yet the local current political situation make it dangerous to live in Huatajata. I'm just back from a three-week blockade, with several dead less than 10 miles away, and the pay certainly does not reflect the risks and general tension.
Mr. Reznicek can vouch on my go-getter attitude, maintenance abilities, and general management expertise.
