It was just a great day!
At 10:30 we went to do some volunteering work in a farm. We split in two groups to do different tasks. One group started by pulling up plants and separating roots, watering plants and transporting manure to different place on the farm.
My group started by clearing the riverbed. Indeed the owner wanted to use the water from the river to irrigate the fields and be even more eco-friendly. At first the kids weren't too motivated about it but as we were going, taking plants out, moving rock, we were able to see the water streams getting bigger and bigger and the motivation increased. After 2 hours which looked like 30minutes, the kids didn't want to stop to go to have lunch. Pleased with the enthusiasm of the students, Guillermo promised we could come back to do a bit more after lunch. Burritos' time jajaja! I was still hungry after it so I took a desert:
After lunch we went back to the river for a bit longer and then switched with the other group. At four, all very tired we went back to CPI.
A lot of work but we had a great time!!
