School Improvements Week
Submitted by Amazon Communit... on Thu, 15/04/2010 - 23:13YouVolunteer enjoyed a successful week and a half with Carpe Diem Education who worked with us in various schools on our Amazon Community Development project. We worked in three schools including Esfuerzo, Km 22 and Km 35 and worked on a range of projects including agricultural, painting and construction. Since Carpe Diem was the first large group we’ve attempted to accommodate in the volunteer house it served as a great learning experience for us and there couldn’t have been a better, more positive group, to serve as our pilot project.

Finally... we have buses running past the volunteer house, saves us the walk up the hill, no morning 1 but 1 to bring us back from school

We have had a week of glorious sunshine, making it truly feel like summer (yep even on the equator).

Kites are in fashion in the jungle at the moment. Surely we'll be able to have a better attempt than the last time we tried to made kites.

Summer school is into its 2nd week, and everyone is getting very creative. Lots of activities, games and crafts.
