They never let me get a head shot

We hadn't planned to come to the Angels of Hope Foundation but chanced upon it, woke Amanda at 7:30 in the morning and decided we had to stay!  The building work is hard, the children are little monkeys and all in all its a brilliant experience and you really feel like you´re doing something worthwhile.  There´s also enough "downtime" for the odd excusrion.  One of the funniest experiences was treking through waist high rivers with Dom holding a machetti!  He'll probably still be at the Castillo when you arrive!! 

All in all its been an unexpected, brilliant two weeks enhanced by the friendly teachers and Brent and Amanda.  Best of luck for the future and hurry up and volunteer so they can get building those latrines!
