Today the students continued to work on the service project.
They dug out land and made concrete. As the working hours past, students had
the opportunity to take part in a PE/Gym class. This class allowed students to
collaborate with the local students in a game of capture the flag. After, the students headed back to Chilamate
Eco Lodge to swim in the river and have a delicious lunch. Soon after, the
students headed to Jamie’s house to learn about various plants and their
beneficial properties. They experimented with natural dyes, giving them a
temporary tattoo!
They also learned about medicinal plants and experimented
with different flavors.
Students also drank fresh coconut water, experiencing the
true taste.
Students also made
comets out of palm fronds and baby coconuts. To top it all off, they were given
homemade ice cream from Jamie’s all natural kitchen. Unfortunately, we arrived
to late to take part in the nightly soccer game, but everyone got home safely
and enjoyed a good home cooked meal.
