Camp Log, Tlaxcala, 1953

July 3 Camp opens. Robert, Edi th, and Dic1:: 'l1aylor uere the first to arrive, in a downpour of ra.in. · senor Torres c;ave them the key to the 3utes of the school, uheI'e they found that the electricity had not ~ret been connected. The rest of · the Ca.ri1pers cane after' a four hou1' bus ride, second class, fro::1 IIexico 6i ty • Three campers are left there still; and we expect them in the new cru;ip station Hagon tomor1"ow. Our (sas regulator uon It worl:, so ue a.re cookinG on t hree lrnrosene burners. As 1rn s :.. t doun to e a t, 1:-I.1rinidad, our l'iexican volunteer, appeared, a ueek before ue expected him , togethe1" Hi th a fi-•iend headed : or anoth er car.1p, so ue have had our first GUest. The tHo ::i:exican boys played guitars and sang for ns afte1~ supper.

July 4 The car11p is already r1.u1nin0 so smoothly that ue are con­sidering a hike or a picnic torn: .orrow. We decided at a meeting this · r.1orning to asnicn cooks in advance for the whole sU1;1mer, to appoint a moderator and two clerks for each 1-rnel;: of camp, going in alphabetical sequence, and to run business meetings on a consensus b a sis. All house joss except cooking uill be liGted, and volunteers every morning uill check tlle jobs they :i.ntend to do during the day. \le all hope this system will work, and that no one will feel pressured, martyred, or guilty if jobs a.re r1.m on this basis. $enor Lozano at t ho governm.ent palace was concerned when he discovered ue don•t yet have lit::;ht, and has p romi sed to send a man over to see to it. The chie f' of soil con­serva.tion WR11ts as 1:1any boys for uork as we can send him. Camp energency. Tb.e r ain uater tn.nlcs have run dry , and our toilets uonlt flush.

July 5 Cam p emergency· solved. 'rhe tanks fill up partly from the city uater main. But city uater is turned off several hours a day. ITou our chief house problem is having only the one kerosene stove on uhich to cook and to heat dish uater•. Today :~10n t of us went for a long hike over a near .. by mountain. Our nei[;].1bor across the street, Senora Esther, is e;oing to mo.lee tortillas for us, and will t ake our 1\rnt garbage 11 :for her pigs. The Eexico City con­tingent has not yet appeared.

July 6 The boys went on to do t err a cing today, and sone of the girls went to the hospital to talk uith tho doctor there about going to nG.:1.r by villar;es uith the two public h ealtll nurses. Some older boys camG in to play volley ball in our po.tio before supper. Ue have cleaned ,rh.i te paint off ·c:;.1.e 11ind01-rn of the big roor.1 uhich uill serve as a children's l ibrary., scrubbed its tiled floor., and put up travel posters to brighten the dark walls. Our l ast three car,1pers arrived , ;a,lso IIary HaJ.1..sr., so we a re now complete. Ou1• gas stove functions, n011, but 1re still live by c andlelight in the evening. Curiosity about the ca.mp soe:ii1s to be intense, a n d ue have a constant fringe of children peering in at the gate.

July 8 Robert uent out on the boys' project today, and r,mnaged to cet a picl;: through his arm. He has been sewn up by a doctor at ·che hospi tul ne o..r us. '11l '..e 13irls went out uith the nurses again. Irene ls afternoon l.!:nglish class expands everyday. rrhe patio is alli1ost too popul ar from foui-• to seven ever>y day, for volley ball anci gcncx•al milling a round of the neighborhood children. The noise interferes 1,i th the libI·o.ry and t he ::.Znc;lish teaching, yet we don•t like to close our go.tes . He are going to try to solve thii:i by using a nearby field. At a house i~1oeting tonight we decided to try the vollmteer system another week, and also settled on a ten-thirty curfew on wook niGhts.

July 9 Robert's arlil has becor.1e infected, so Lf his symptOlilS be­c ome a larr;1ing he Hi 11 have to go to lie xi co City fo1" treati;ient. Ue are hn.vin g r.1ore calls for girls to g o to schools than ue havo girls to fill the demand. The ones who o;o out uith th0 villac;e nurses think th ere are too many of' them for the uorh:, so perhaps some of them c an uork on recrea­tion ins tead . So far He }.1.a ven' t talked to Dr. Noriega again about tho th1"ee latrines ho uants the b oys to b ui ld this i:iui11r.1er. Difficulties arise irllen the I-ioxican workers on the soil pro j e ct press food and pulque on the boys. Our ciusine has so far boon rer,mrkably c;ooc1, and. tho food costs have run ~roll uithin the budget :for the stumuer.
