Coach de Cochabambinos

Good news! I'm going to be "stationed" in Southern Cochabamba with the Nueva Vera Cruz chapel in the Santa Vera Cruz parish.
 Other news: This parish speaks mostly Quechua with some Aymara mixed in for good measure.
By the way: I don't speak Quechua or Aymara. But I'm pretty stoked to learn. 
I'm going to be working with an associated escuela de apoyo for 140 of the poorest children of the parish. Most of these kids come from Barrio Rivera and Barrio Costanera apparently.
Not sure about the communication thing yet, but I'm told that there's a plethora of cellphones in Cochabamba, as well as some internet-phone setups, so maybe I'll actually be able to call back to the states? I'll post when I get an address or cofirmation about whether or not internet is gonna happen for me down there...
