    Hello from Peru. Great video , very informative and the scenery is so beautiful as usual. Here we have 2 types of sugar cane. The one you are posting in your video what is softer and thinner and can produced a healthy juice what is ready for drinking right away. The other type is thicker and harder. It is used in the Azucareras what are for big industry for producing refined white sugar. That locally made sugar is called here chancaca and is soooo good. It comes with all the mineral and nutrients vs the white refined sugar. In Lima is sold as chanchaca , but we also can find it as brown granules (panela). We are buying it here is the form of granules and can last 6 months or more in a plastic container. It is 50% more expensive but so good because no side effects and diabetes. The reason for this is because of the additional minerals as calcium. Peru is a farming country with thousands of experience. Actually a new law is trying to regulate burning sugar cane stubble -> PROHIBICION QUEMA RASTROJOS PERU . This way less possibilities having forest fire in the Andes. It is good to burn it as fuel for the oven/cooker is a controlled environment, but very bad when burning in open field because hot ashes spread easily in the dry season.

    The story you might cover is the fires not to far from us. Lots of haze the last few days but no sign of it's source. I heard rumor of fire near the "casa de gatitas" above Malacatos. Dry and windy in Vilcabamba of late. Maybe we'll all be down to the river, our natural fire break. As for swimming that river...I saw a minow doing laps but even he had to portage some.

    Hello from Peru. I do not know what is happening, but youtube deleted my message . I wanted to tell you that we are helping actively in the forest fire in Canton Quilanga, Loja. Have been sent 2 big airplane prepared for discharging big amount of water onto the fire, also 2 big helicopters . They can get the water from a reservoir and take it back to the fire. Ecuadorians authorities and people are happy with this additional help. I have recently read some ecuadorian news on this matter. God help Ecuador.

It's encouraging to hear that additional resources like the airplanes and helicopters are being deployed. The support from Peru is truly appreciated by everyone in Ecuador. Let's continue to pray for the safety of all involved and for a swift end to the fires. God bless!

    Greetings from Peru, great video. These ladies are doing a great work. Different points of view and experience. IMHO for being in peace of mind, the less we think the better we do it. "reencarnation" and all the beliefs are good but they are not really needed when we just want to rest our mind. Just God inside us. The mind is good for finding solutions in our material world, but useless in the spiritual world. Thanks for reading.

    • @davidveraok
      @davidveraok Před 8 dny

      We could go to Tibet searching for peace, but if our mind is constantly working, no inner peace, at all. In this case mind = imagination, memories, feelings, inteligence, analysis, syntesis, what we belief, what we do not belief, etc. It is harder when we have had traumatic experience where pain and suffering is still behind us. In this case, God and only God could help. No yoga, no traveling, no nature, no religion, just God. Beautiful nature could give temporary relief, but the suffering will continue there. This is true even for ateist. ( ateo ) . We might continue being an ateist ( what we belief) but asking for honest help to God and he will be there.
