Peruvian Baby Hayden


I recently learned that in Cabracancha, where I teach my Pasos class, a woman recently gave birth and decided to name her daughter after me.  Apparently it is still sort of pending because the father isn’t around and they have to wait till he gets back and approves the name.  Either way, I was incredibly touched by that, but I’m a little concerned for this girl because no one is ever going to be able to say her name. I was asked by the health post nurse, Eli (pronounced Ellie), to write my name down so she could tell the mom how to spell it.  The whole thing was really sweet and I am really really flattered.  It makes me feel appreciated and honored in a way I can’t really articulate!
