This the sort of boat we´ve been travelling in
We spent our last day at ADRA today. Christmas is approaching and so is our departure date. We're still not sure if we should leave. We've got the fealing that we´ll never find another place like Pucallpa. It´s hard because we know Peru is full of unbelivable places, and there´s so much to see. On the other hand we want to get to know these places by settling down for a few months. Pierre and me have decided that we will stick with the next job we find for at least 3 months. We´ve met so many people here, and ADRA want us to stay but we still feel we should move on...

This week we spent our last trip in Bethel. Our main purpose was to check why the chlorine plant wasn´t working (A piece of equipment that changes salt and water into chlorine which is then used to disinfect water. A solar panel provides the electricity). We also explained how to administrate the comunity better with a few specially designed boardgames. On thursday there was a christmas party at ADRA where we exchanged presents.


PS: Ive added some photos in the previous journals. I hope you
