Along The Edges: Miscellaneous Activities

Been a few days since I've had a chance to update but here are a few cool activities that we got to participate in. And yes, besides all the fun we are actually lots of work too! Hope to have a full update on all the Masskara Festival activities tonight after the big finale.

Global Handwashing Day
This is a key initiative that they are sponsoring here to teach school-aged children the importance of hygiene to prevent the spread of disease. We were at the mall with our client who also happens to be the president of the local Girl Scouts troop in addition to everything else she does in the community. Honestly, I don't know how she as time to sleep - definitely a Superwoman.

During the event there was also a performance by the winner of the local mall singing competition. She is such a little cuty and sang a BIG song for a little girl.

Mambukal Park
Our clients from University of St. La Salle took 4 of us up to Mambukal, a mountain park on the island. It was nice to get out of the city and see some of the countryside. Along the way we passed many sugar cane plantations and saw lots of people drying out the the rice from their fields on the side of the road.
