Saturday 26th June Hi All!! I can't actually believe I've been here one month now, it's absolutely flown by! This week we have been back to the school to do some more work. On Monday we cut the grass. We used a tool called a slasher and it sure hurt your hand after a while! Some of us got blisters on our palms.

Sunday 6th June WIMWEGA (how are you?) - pronouced wey-mo-wega On Thursday we visited three schools which past volunteers had helped improve over the last year so we could see what sort of things they had done.
