Final week at the reserve
... volunteer houses, fixing and painting a boat to go out on the wetlands, some maintenance tasks and a forest patrol on Thursday as it was a dry day. Raquel and I were hoping to finish the paper mache class with the Young Rangers this week, as most of them have built the bird apart from and painting it. However, due to the rain and the teacher not turning up for the lesson, there have been no ...
Birthday Party season at REGUA!
... the sky was constantly lit with bolts of lightning. Two of
our volunteers, Lauren and Jarrett, left earlier in the week so now there are only
9 of us at the reserve. We have spent most of the week helping with
work in the tree nursery, tidying it up, weeding pots and planting
seeds. We also had the first paper mache class for the Young Rangers on
Thursday afternoon which went very well. There were around 20 children
in the class, mostly boys, and ...
De chuva
... We also have a new pet called Olivia, a baby porcupine who lost her mother at a very early age.

Lots of work and some play
... apart

nano straighteners and make up and keeps coming into my room to use
them! She is of African decent though, so the strighteners don´t work
so well on her afro!
We had one extra person arrive late
last week, ...
My first week in Teresópolis
... up my own messes (I know you beg to differ parents, but on the whole.. I DO!) and now that there is hired help to do it I feel bad. I feel spoiled and like I´m taking advantage. The lady is the nicest ever and I know that this job provides her with good money to support herself and her family but it´s still strange. I´m trying to enjoy it but I still find myself every morning trying to tidy the room to make it easier for her. Maybe I´m really not the spoiled child I ...
