Focusing on Foxtrot Two

Hannah, our videographer, captures life with Foxtrot Two:

"I was looking forward to catching up with the final Foxtrot group and they didn't disappoint.  They have all but put the roof on the toilet block at the boarding school in Madapura and have also some how managed to make time to build an adventure playground. 

PM Ken starts the day with porridge


Hellllllooo!

Even the videographer dabbles in a little manual labour!


The playground in progress
The fantastic weather has continued over the last week and I didn't even see a sprinkling of rain on my stay with Foxtrot Two.  Such sunny weather seemed a perfect time to host a school sports day. The venturers made time in their busy work schedule to enter the 3-legged race and an unusual game that required a blindfold, bucket and large stick...see below. 

Sports Day

Sabrin playing 'The Penguin' game
The venturers have established a regular lesson time between 6-7pm which has been very popular with the children from the boarding school.  I dropped in on a very fun anatomy lesson.

Good Times!
Next stop is the Adventure Challenge down in Kerala where all the Foxtrot groups will get the chance to catch up with each other.  Nevermind the venturers, I cant wait to don my hiking boots and get adventuring!" 

Robin and Marie also visited Foxtrot Two recently and picked up the following messages.

Kay

Hi mum and dad, thanks for the messages, I loved them. Hope the holiday is good and the place hasn't changed much.  I'm not sure of the plan for Sunday yet but I'm pushing for going to the internet cafe.  Mum I opened your letter 3 days early - I hope you dont mind but it was really lovely so thank you.  We have 2 days travelling down for the adventure phase which I'm really looking forward to. How's Alex? Has she been looking at the blog? I miss you both so much. Can't wait to speak to you.

Eva

  17. Hi David,
    Hope you are getting on OK. It looks like the weather has improved for you. We have been in Cornwall for a week and have had terrible trouble accessing the internet to send you a message.Sorry. We are all fine. The football season has started. Martin O'Neill has resigned after a tiff with his bosses. Don't know who will succeed him yet.Hope you enjoy your week in Kerala. Looking forward to seeing you soon.Mum, Dad and Jonathan xx
