PETE HARRIS
Here's a rather artsy pic of my pal Pete, looking good in my nerd sunglasses.
Pete is from La Grande, Oregon (that's in the eastern part that nobody's ever been to). He is strong, smart, and efficient. He knows the old animated "Peter Pan" basically by memory and can sound exactly like Captain Hook (to a scary degree in fact). He served a mission for the LDS Church in Argentina and is thus fluent in Spanish, which he teaches at the MTC in Provo. He is double majoring in Spanish and Public Health at BYU.
He leads out on our health-related projects, like the Loma Luz hospital project where we are building a new lab. This week he lead a very successful public health expo which lead to well over a hundred people getting free diabetes testing. He also is helping with the soilet project and the orphanage project. Honestly, other than sharing a bedroom with him and seeing him in the evening and on our weekend adventures, the orphanage is the only project I ever see him at. We are always otherwise working in completely different places all the time! But, this is good as it shows how diverse the talents of our team are. I work a lot on business and cash flow projects which attack poverty at its source, while he does a lot of projects that deal with the horrible effects poverty causes to public health. We both battle poverty from different angles which is fantastic!
Three cheers for Pete "Captain Hook" Harris!
I am so impressed by the amazing people you are working with. The future is really good hands!!!!!
