Life with the Locals
... almost everyone opts to take the jeepney back because that only takes like 5 minutes. After working hard all day in the heat, I don't blame anyone for taking the jeepney. In fact, most days that's exactly what I did. For a number of reasons beyond the exhaustion though: 1) you can be one of the first to get a shower (remember there's only 4 showers and 20+ volunteers), 2) dinner starts about half an hour or so after we get back, and finally 3) if you have to wait to ...

HAN-AY Cagayan
... time with the other volunteers there, but for a community event I was hoping we'd spend more time with the community.
