We got to Managua on Saturday evening after a few longs flights and rushing around various airports. It was a bit of a difficulty even getting to Birmingham airport because of the flooding that was in England.
On the first day we went on a trip to Granada, the old city where we rode a horse and cart and went on a boat trip to see loads of different islands on lake granada. It was amazing and we fed a Spider monkey a muesli bar, which it didn´t like at all.
On the second day we went on a tiny 12 seater plane to Bluefields with just enough room for all the girlies. When we got to Bluefields we ate sandwiches then some of us went to Bluefields town to get food shopping and some of us went to concrete a house. We saw geckos at nighttime on the windows.
The third day the girls started our project, which was to paint the fence in the orphanage garden. We painted one side of the fence then the next day came back to paint a mural of Noahs ark, which still needs too be finished, hopefully later on today, which is day five. We met some beautiful children in the orphanage who we played games with. We played in and out tyhe dusty bluebells and sang Father Abraham and did the hokey cokey, I have some brilliant photos.
In between times on the third day we went to see the rubbish dump and the people living off of it. We saw a pregnant lady carrying a tv on her head. We also went to the feeding project where people make meals for 120 children each day so that the children have food in their stomachs every day.
it´s now the fifth day and it rained all last night so we figured we can´t do our painting this morning so we´ve gone into town and are in the internet cafe.
Hola to everyone
