Today our team, the school team, made our way to the school to begin the monsterous duty of seperating art supplies, clothing ,shoes and a multitude of other items. We are a team of 29 children between the ages of 8 and 14, a group of teenagers and 4 adults. We then have our teams split into 3 groups. One group is painting the building. They consist mostly of the older boys. Then the other teams are sorting items for our market we will be holding for the people of a specific area. These folks will be given vouchures to purchase clothing, shoes and toys. The kids will be organizing and running the market. We are also preparing for a camp in the morning and another camp in a day or 2.
The kids will be running stations; tye-dye, beads, friendship bracelets and arts and crafts. All of the village children will come to enjoy, 300 kids to be exact! Should be fun, I think!!! Oh and did I mention how hot it is??? No, not in tis post you say? Well, it's HOT!!!!! 15 bottles of water per day per person. Even with that you don't find the need to use the rest room very often! It's also really humid. The sweat never actually dries to col you as it is meant to be! You just spend your day soaking wet! Always happy to see the shower at the end of the day!
The hotel we are in is fine. In the states it would rank maybe 1 star, here it's probably 3. After taking a shower we have a river running through the bathroom. If everyone statrts flushing our bathroom seems to collect all of the sewage oder, pretty I know, but I had to share! The gekos have managed to find other rooms to hang out in, thank heavens! We do have a flat screen tv, a fridge, wifi, a/c,hot water, and a lock on the door, so no complaints really!
