Hola a todos
Today we were busy working with the project at the school some more. We definitely made visual strides on the sink. The hole for the pipes was finished and we have two layers done on the sink so far. It was nice seeing the children wanting to help us with the manual labor, which you won't find in the states. Communicating with the children in spanish seems to have gotten better day by day. The children here are wonderful they show up to class early eager to learn whereas in the states students sometimes blow off a class even after paying to take it. I guess that's just one of the many different cultural differences here.
After, working at the school in the morning Joe, Jonathan, Jack, and I went on a sail to Charto Verde. The scenery out there was quite beautiful. We all jumped off the boat in to the water and swimmed for a little untill we decided to go fishing. On our journey back to Ometepe Island we got a chance to watch the sunset go down and the moon come up.
To cap off the beautiful day in Nicaragua Erica, Sarah, and I had a great conversation while staring at the stars. Between the three of us we will probably never know the difference between The Big Dipper and Orion. -Qadeer

Qadeer - I think one of the adjectives you could use to describe the willingness to help among the children is part culture and part character. I call it an "attitude of gratitude". It IS a beautiful thing, indeed. How wise of you to appreciate the abundance of it on the island & to mourn the lack of it in the States. Keep up the good role model & happy star gazing...:)
