Hey!

This is Mike from the Venezuela team. I’m kinda sending a group email and it’s proving difficult with this crappy internet in Puerto lol! Just to let you know that we’re all having an AMAZING time! I’m glad we’re doing the daily blog now its good to keep you guys updated with all our antics! The weather is insane! Soooo hot then the LOUDEST thunder and lightening EVER in one day! Its awesome though!

Eve playing on the beach with local kids

The volunteer work is going really well, we’ve moved our presentation for the school children about La Basura (Spanish for ‘rubbish’…Woo I’m learning… slowly lol) to next Wednesday! We can’t wait! A few of us had the best day ever yesterday playing with the local children on a local beach… they loved it as well!

Playtime!

The place we’re staying at is really good, and we get on so well with the other students and Brendan and Chris! It’s a shame Brendan had to go so soon after we met him!!I also thought it would be worth a mention that we get on so well with Govinda, our team leader! He really is such a laugh and is helping us so much. Couldn’t speak highly enough of the lad! Wouldn’t say that to his face tho lol his head is plenty big enough as it is!

Anyhows hope to speak to you soon!

Ciao ciao
