And the Study Begins, Beni, May 21st

I’m itching to get into the field and start conducting interviews. Until today the Texas A&M team and I have been training the surveyors. The surveyors are locals, middle class, smart and seem to be interested in the project. Unfortunately, because of security concerns, I’m not allowed to venture into the city alone and even the surveyors are not permitted to visit certain parts of the city and surrounding country side.


Last night we were able to conduct our first key informant interview. Key informant interviews are typically interviews with local businessmen.  Dr. Price interviewed a local who has just started a water bottling company in the nearby mountains.
