Project Phase 1 - La Esperanza School

We began painting classrooms so that the children had a nicer environment to learn in, the transformation was amazing!  In the afternoons we played with the kids; teaching them English, doing arts and crafts (funded by our donations to the project) and one evening we had a disco with them.  On the last day the school held a presentation for us with their national dances and dress, everyone recieved a certificate for their amazing work and effort over the few days! Having a fantastic time so far even though we´ve not showered in 3 days!

PS.. no rain and LOTS of sunshine!

Team Tortuga have arrived safely at Project Bona Fide on the Island of Ometepe. They have settled into their homestays and are getting used to a completely different way of life. They have spent the day learning about permaculture and the work of the project, including tasting all of the exotic fruits grown on the farm. They have also been working in a local community project and are helping to build a sowing cooperative for local women. This evening they are planning to cool off after a hard day's work on the beach.
