So, I am checking in again from the PI. How am I, well, lets see; I have gotten to go do a few things with the locals so far, and let me tell ya I really enjoyed helping out the children at the orphanage. The one thing I have a hard time with is how they treated us, though. Don't get me wrong, they were not mean to us or anything, it was just the opposite. They treated us like rock stars, taking pictures with us and wanting autographs and stuff like that. It was pretty flattering to be honest, but I really just enjoyed helping them out. I learned some really cool stuff, for example: the kids at the orphanage are taught to do all the chores, no matter how old they are. Also, they all make their own canvas for artwork and I was lucky enough to be given a small piece of a child's art. Some of the kids were victims of human trafficking and come from several different countries. So, when I read news articles about how we are not here to do good work for the country, I kinda get pissed off, only to realize that its just the 'bad guys' propaganda at work. I am hoping to make it out to some of the even more less fortunate islands later this week to do some good deeds there. We will see how that works out for me. Anyways, I love and miss everyone and until next time, take care out there, or wherever you lay your pretty little heads!
Peace OUT
