Tom(another volunteer from the UK) and myself have agreed to paint a mural in the jetty with the aim of giving other volunteers an onverview of the projects. We begin with finding some basic materials such as paint and brushes. We find some white paint which seems to have been used for painting buildings. Dianne has purchased some small pot paints -that is what they look like- but are in fact a strong dye and when mixed with the white paint gives us a range of colours to play with. After a morning at this we are transported to school for an afternoon session of running repairs.
School finishes at 2.30 so we are able to go into the classrooms and check on the desks. As they were made in such a rush some of the bolts and screws have come loose making them wobble to say the least. Now we have better materials we are able to do some running repairs.
Tonight is full moon and we learn that there is a party and drum playing at a beach cafe. On the beach there is a group of people playing African drums around a fire. After the consumption of a bit of alcohol and other substances we see some of the locals practicing the art of Poi. This is dancing with a pole around you body which is lit and bellowing flames at each end. Quite an impressive sight on a deserted beach in the light of a full moon.
