Where in the World are the Winterim Groups?

Saturday, March 13, 2010

Good News from Panama!

An e-mail, written by Linda Kimbrell, was received on Thursday afternoon reporting about the Casa Cayuco Winterim.


All's well in Bocas. The group arrived at Casa Cayuco late Tues afternoon, after a day on the city. Wednesday we kayaked to the village of Salt Creek. For many of them it was their first time kayaking. In the village they helped carry cement blocks to the school for some construction improvement. They saw the projects (water catchment, etc) that previous LA groups had done. Then we took a short jungle walk with a local guide. Lots of new and interesting things for them to discover in the rain forest!

Thursday we will do some prep work for our big service project and then take a snorkel trip. Many of the kids have never snorkeled either - lots of new challenges for everyone!

Our service work will take us to two remote villages (we'll sleep there), building water catchment and a community gathering house. I'll fill you in later on how those go.

Hope all's well in Groton. Pass along this news to anyone who wants it. All the kids are doing well and we're having a good time!
