Our goal for this school to make it COMPLETELY green. Meaning we want to teach the kids how to use bio-gas, wind power, water power, solar power, etc. So yah, the thought is nice... but the action is not what we were expecting. There is A LOT of work to be done. We hit our first major road block when we got here and found a little school that we started helping out.

Hi first entry abroad - All arrived safely although via a "painful" journey. Our flight was via "Puerto Rico" (USA!!!) - we had to make an emergency diversion (unfortunately an 18 month old child, who couldn't have been very well, died on the flight) - we had to disembark, fill in visa applications etc etc what a hastle. We arrived here at 05.30am UK time (12.30am here - Thursday).
