Arrived at our project in Sigchos on Tuesday, after a really sketchy bus journey speeding up the sides of mountains. very scary!! Weather was wet and overcast then. We are staying in the hall of the school with a tiled floor and lots of ants!! the toilets were outside and didnīt flush as well as the fact that they absolutely stank!!! the sink was full of slugs and weīve had to have cold showers all week!! The next day we met the school children and taught them english with a teuchter accent, heehee! then we went to buy stuff for the school, like cysterns for the toilets as well as basketballs, footballs and paint, so we could paint it! When we took all the balls back to the playground we were attacked by a bunch of hungry animals who almost wrestled us to the floor, and knocked over a tin of paint which went everywhere! Then in the afternoon we started on the painting which is coming along nicely now. on Thursday we got up at 4.15am to get the bus to the market in Saguisili at 5. So we had the dodgy bus ride in the dark. At the market the weather was like winter on Islay, and Mr H bought a panama hat as well as a pink ribbon to go round it! camp or what??? We saw live chickens hanging upside down and then we got the bus back to Sigchos about 10 and took pictures hanging out the window the whole way back. it was great fun and definately and experience. When we got back the weather was scorching and then we started drawing the mural. On Friday we played games with the kids all morning and started to paint the mural in the afternoon. We also poured a huge bucket of water over Mr H and then ran away and didnīt go back for and hour and a half!! The leaders cooked dinner which was very interesting and could have done without the beans!! had a meeting and decided to have a long lie on saturday which we did!! Went to cafe for lunch of the saturday and Margaret (one of our leaders) ate a fish eye for $5!! Then we had a huge game of football. After dinner we played more football as well as basketball and taught the americans strip the willow which was very amusing!! We should be able to update this on saturday so until then..... goodbye!!
