BEST Auditors Without Borders EVER

Every now and again, Kimmmm and I are required to go on travel for work. It's a good opportunity to check out the wondrous places our nation has to offer, especially the ones I would never willingly travel to on my own.

Jack Stack BBQ in Kansas City?

Check.

Furniture depot in Hickory, NC?

Check.

Amber waves of grain? Purple mountain majesties? Fruited plain?

Check, check, and check.

But never were we approached with an opportunity that sent us on an international quest. One of our best friends, however, was. A couple weeks ago, Kelli was approached by her manager and asked if she would be interested in traveling to Guatemala for one of her clients. To show her overwhelming desire and indepth knowledge of the culture, without hesitation, she responded, "Si!"

So, she packed her laptop, mosquito repellent, and a flashlight, and flew out that weekend. She was on her way to audit whatever it is that Guatemala needs audited. Being the uber-politically correct gals that we are, we assumed she would audit the likes of the braiding business, straw markets, or banana distribution. We were wrong.

Well, a week has passed since she first embarked on her auditing in Spanish journey, and she decided to try to capture bits and pieces of her experience in a blog (we may or may not have persuaded her to do so). You can take a read here.

    I have a friend who worked with some of the tribes in Guatemala. She built stoves (constructed with bricks she also made herself) and installed them in homes - to enhance safety... She built water catchment systems for small communities... Nothing to audit there, I'm so sure!!! They must have a city in that country somewhere!
