Our group has settled in and is hard at work on our fence-building project in the village of El Progresso.\u00a0 The students are enjoying their home-stay families, and spending time playing soccer and Frisbee, amongst other games with the local children.\u00a0 We have also been spending time exploring the 7 Mile area. We went for a beautiful hike culminating in a\u00a0 swim in a jungle river called Barton Creek on Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0 Today, Saturday, we are back in San Ignacio for e-mails and phone calls home, and then hope to explore some caves on the edge of the village this afternoon. Tomorrow we will visit a series of small waterfalls called the Five Sisters, a popular local swimming hole.\u00a0 On Monday we will be back to work, both on the fence and on the students’ self-directed secondary projects. One group will be tutoring students at the school and another will be painting a mural to decorate the village; projects which they have selected and will be leading themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
