Alpha One
Date - 10/4/08
Weather - misty
Alpha One have been building-up the last two toilets and plastering, after a couple of days holiday in the village for Ugadi festival. They have also been busy drawing and painting a mural and last night had a trip to the Myrada camp (local NGO and Raleigh's project partner for the community phase) where they enjoyed some lovely food and a relaxing evening.
Today on returning from Myrada, the group will be continuing with the plastering of their 10 toilets.
Alpha Two
Date - 10/4/08
Weather - foggy
Alpha Two are back working on another trench this morning, having completed eight to date! Other exciting activities have included Bungalow Olympics and salsa lessons. A few days ago, Alpha Two planted a row of trees and sowed seeds in a new tribal village nearby, which quickly escalated into a mud fight. In exchange for all this hard work they are off for lunch in the town of HD Kote this afternoon.
Alpha Three
Date - 9/4/08
Weather - great weather!
Alpha Three arrived at Kumili camp at 2pm after a 27 km walk. They had a fantastic time by the lake for their 'rest day'; enjoying some great weather, with sunburn consequences... Tomorrow will mark the start of the cycling for the group, a two day trip heading towards the Arabian Sea, but unfortunately not all downhill!
Hello Kirsty Champion!
ReplyDeleteWas amazing to get your brief email today, i miss you lots too. So pleased to hear you´re having fun :) and Thailand is a bit random? But cool that you´ve met someone to travel there with. I want to ask you so many questions and have a proper catch up, i have SO much to tell you. I assmue you are still getting back to England in July?
Brazil has been totally amazing, although Frontier messed up big time. Our parents are currently trying to get us refunded because it was such a shambles! We´re flying to Peru in 5 hours, will keep an eye out for a suitable pencil case for Mummy Champion :) Not promising anything though!
Remember i love you, big fat cuddles and kisses, Phoebe aka Weeby!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteJust had Ruth over for lunch today - great fun - sat on the computer looking at garden plants for her to do her garden. Ludi blogged you - he really misses you and always asks what you are up to. How was the mud fight? Hope there are lots of photos of it.
Daddy is having a long lunch at Mortons - just called -7.30pm - sounds really pxxxed! He is down tomorrow and then we are going to the Churchs for supper. Point to point on Saturday and then London on Sunday - the easter holidays are over - seems like the boys only broke up.

Ha Bruno,
ReplyDeleteVan de jarige Caroline hoorden we dat je in een internetcafe was en met haar gemsn-ed had...ik dacht dat je door de bush aan het trekken was. Maar de berichten waren goed o.a. over prachtig weer! Hier is het nu ook mooi lenteweer.Ik kan me nauwelijks indenken dat je over 9 dagen weer thuis zult zijn. Wel gezellig!
Liefs en veel plezier met kanoen en de Arabische zee. Klinkt spannend, heel anders dan Noordzee.
Kus. mama
