Last Friday, May 13th we indoctrinated some new team members into the PyE Ayacucho regional office, and to the specific work of the mental health team. Milagros and Yudy said ¨Hey Lisa! Come look at our new titeres. As I was walking back to the office I was thinking ¨What in the mother is a titere? When I turned the corner I got a load of our new teammates and found out what a titere is. A titere is a puppet and our new teammates are (Given their names by the folks in Loricocha and Cangari) ¿Como Tú? (Hamqina in Quechua) the bloodhound (see photo), Patricio the puppy, Omar and Suzanna the people puppets, Ollanta the Burro, and Keiko the pig. For your knowledge Ollanta and Keiko are the current presidential candiadates in a run off for June 5th. We used the new Titeres in our workshops with the GAMS and look forward to integrating them into our work with the niños and violence/abuse prevention.
