1 August Day 8






Today was our final day at the centre for disabled children. we finished the paintings we had drawn on the wall (Some featured above)
We gave the centre a few different things like a new basketball

, toy farm animals, toy dinasours ect. the centre gratefully accepted our toys and have said now they have new resources to teach the kids different things.

Tommorrow we start our first day at the libary currently we beleive we are painting a room and decoratings it. Even thought this is a 45 minute boat ride we are now spending two days in a different town.

Some important information for anyone who is following our route. we have sadly had to remove day 23 (16th august) from the trip and replace it with an extra travel day to now give us 4 days in the jungle instead of 3. this was actually suggested by world challenge due to most of the other groups took 4 days as it is also the rainy season here so its alot harder to do so the extra day is needed.

The day that we removed was the mountain pine ridge trek as no one wanted to remove the day at the mayan ruins from the trip. As that was only other day available to remove which would then in a way defeat the purpose of the trip.
