"I am excited to meet the community, learn about their experiences, and build the solar ovens with the help of the community." - Namrata Gupta, Technical Team Manager

"I'm most excited to meet the community members! and eat the food..." - Mason Danna,Technical Communications Manager

"I’m most excited about seeing the whole process at the mesquite flour facility and seeing how our dryers and ovens fit into the process. We’ve spent the whole year focusing on our one part, it’ll be interesting and exciting to see how our part fits into the whole process. And I’m excited about learning more Spanish and about meeting the community members!" - Hannah Moore, Budget & Schedule Manager

"I cannot wait to meet the community members and watch these ideas and designs that we've been working on for a year come to life! I'm also excited to taste some really awesome mole and to learn about the rest of Santiago Suchilquitongo more deeply through our resource mapping activity and community interviews" - Rachel Scott, Public Relations Manager
"I'm excited to learn about the strengths of the communities of Oaxaca and Suchil. I want to learn about how they have impacted the world, because I feel like there are many parts of my daily life that are either related to or impacted by these communities." - Christina Liu, Project Manager
