Camp Kenya does not want us to rest!

Dear all,
Today was again a day of action and we've now collapsed in bed, completely flat out.

It all started around 8.30am when we split into three groups: fingerling, potting and collecting seedlings of mangrove trees (paletuviers). We were helping the women in the community ensure that the environment is being protected and they can make the most of it.

Off we go net fishing!

of the pond to collect small fish to be transfered.

The winning team, Kavi and Yaseen, collected 130!

Layla, the project coordinator, has certainly made
your little shrimps work hard!

We filled 300 little bags to receive the seedlings.

The walking group came back with over 500
seedlings. They did the final touch here...

... before we all started planting!

Bang in the middle!

Tears ran down many cheeks.

We sent the afternoon at the beach, exploring the sea bed and having sand fights. So much fun!

To finish this active day properly, Duncan, the site manager of our camp, organised a short football game with the local kids. Teams of 15 - at least - on a huge pitch and everyone ended up very sweaty indeed! Final score: 2-2.

Slightly patchy football ground but no-one cared!

Multi-tasking Duncan did a great job referring!

There was certainly a lot of running done!

After dinner, there was a succession of entertainement:

Mixing with Ken, one of the youth leader here,

singing and playing the guitar around the camp fire,

and Hangover 2!

We can promise it took us two seconds to fall asleep. We can't wait for tomorrow though as we are going to start our two-day diving course. We'll tell you all about when we get back.

Good night Mums and Dads.

The eco crew.
