Hola mi nombre es Jaime Alvarez Molina, soy de Ollantaytambo y estudio la carrera de gastronomía en el Instituto Khipu. Tengo 18 años y voy cursando el cuarto semestre. La carrera que elegí la elegí porque me gusta mucho crear platos y investigar sobre toda la variedad que hay en mi país para así ponerla en práctica y difundirlos al mundo. En mis tiempos libres me gusta leer e investigar sobre gastronomía. De Mosqoy me gusta todo- la convivencia, los amigos que tengo, y los viajes para traducir en las comunidades para así seguir alimentando nuestro idioma mater que es el Quechua. Agradezco por el apoyo en nuestros estudios y futuros.

Hello, my name is Jaime Alvarez Molina, I’m from Ollantaytambo and I study gastronomy at the Khipu Institute. I am 18 years old and I’m currently in my 4th semester. I chose gastronomy because I love to create dishes and discover the variety of ingredients and methods that my country has to offer, which I hope to put into practice and share with the world. In my free time I like to read and learn more about gastronomy. I love everything about Mosqoy- the coexistence, the friends I have made, and the trips we take to weaving communities where I get to be a Quechua translator, which allows me to continue nourishing our mother tongue which is the Quechua language. Thank you for your support in our studies and our futures.

*Hello and good evening friends! I am hoping that each and every one of you are doing well. I am pleased to tell you that today I am feeling really happy in Casa Mosqoy, here in Cusco, Peru in the company of all of my fellow students and volunteers from Canada and the U.S. We are coordinating a gastronomy project with which we will raise funds to go on a trip with all of the Mosqoy students that live at Casa Mosqoy. We will go to the National Park of Manu, the jungle, with Mosqoy Staff and Ashli, the Mosqoy founder, which arrived here in Peru three days ago. She told us she will come to dinner at Casa Mosqoy every Monday but after arriving she has come almost every day! Haha! Also, I will tell you that I am in the last days of my second semester and about to start my third but until then it is ALL EXAMS. I feel really enthusiastic because here at Casa Mosqoy they call me the Prince of Rice because I am the best at cooking rice for a large number of people. I am nurturing a lot of knowledge of my major, gastronomy and culinary arts, and the class I like the most is Nutrition in which we learn about the chemical composition of all foodstuff, food borne illnesses and infections, and types of foods that can be recommended according to the ailment. For example, the sodium diet and diets low in protein which are directed towards those people that suffer from cardiac diseases and many other things. Time is passing so quickly and I realize that I need to reinforce my knowledge with studying. I hope that one day we can all meet one another. Take care and hugs from a distance!

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
