How To Tie A Double D Belt Buckle

Volunteer work

Our "house volcanoes in the evening on the way home

Since my hair in the last few months but are also grown, I went in search of a hairdresser. In Guatemala there are Barberia's and salons, where they cut their hair, paint nails and feet can bathe, etc. It's more the Barberia are intended for men, the (beauty) really salons for women. If I had known, I would be poorer by an embarrassment, I would not have to have to listen to giggling at Foehnhauben sitting or walking bathers women. And when my head was full of shampoo, the water does not work, what was even funnier than a stray Gringo hurts in a ladies salon, and once again resounding laughter me today. Nevertheless, the result was not a bad performance, all without a machine, but with comb and scissors. (Daniel: if you read this, I am looking forward to the next appointment with you!) Yeah, we experienced many things in foreign countries.

We have been working for four weeks on an aid project, Familias de Esperanza. For interested: ( http://www.commonhope.org ) (English and English)

Class of Jeanette

Jeanette: I'm assistant teacher in the school, the project also heard and special children as hyperactive and those with learning difficulties and promotes will be incorporated into the state school. There is a 12-year old kid's, do not expect to read, write and. The class consists of 14 in the Kid's Aged 10 - 12. Actually my work is mainly in support of the teacher ....... what sometimes dyes his exciting than it really is. However, I maintain a good contact with the Kid's, which often stem from large families (up to 14 children) and because of this big "Knuddelbeduerfnis" have. On the whole I've been doing well in this project and the children are grown I have extremely fond present.

Jeanette's bachelors, including about a lover

Roger: I'm mainly as a 'caretaker' doing business, and have very varied tasks. In the beginning I once labeled all the fuses in all buildings of the project, because no one can read electrical plans or schemes. Then I was able to revise the emergency group, again no one knows exactly how it works, the main thing is that enough diesel in the tank, the rest interested no one. So we have times changed every oil and air filters, can seep into the sticky black Altoelbruehe environmentally friendly in the ground and carried out some tests.

installation of outside lighting, routing tree bark and dry fly.

I am also sometimes there when we for poor families in the mountain valleys concrete foundations for their homes, all without machines, with shovels and hoes. The water had to be already "collected" some time earlier, then it is enough available. Sand, gravel and Zementsaecke everything is brought in on foot. This sweaty and really hard work but has a totally satisfying side. These people are living far below the poverty line but are so friendly and grateful that we can help you with pleasure. Once I lost my wallet at work, it had enough money in it, (200 CHF) for some time to live on. When I went back to the site, I was waiting for the mother who cleaned my Lederportmonee and neatly stored in a bag for me, herauszunehemen without even a cent. And lunch would be for this family only had a feast, but for us they have slaughtered their chickens, but even eating only rice and tortillas.

The Zementsaecke be opened and made of concrete by hand.

What us in recent days and weeks of very busy, are the demonstrations of power of the Mafia. To set up bus drivers during the trip by head shots to force your bribe charges. (Are Camionetas OE.V. and operated by private persons) in a single day, there were five deaths in Guatemala City. The police (in some cases mafia) again fails with over 1000 people back, and blocked roads to search the buses. Killers or clan leaders were executed after a short time because they commanded from prison by mobile phone from other murders. So everything is a bit uneasy, but we need not to fear, as our bus route is not in the danger zone. Chauffeurs will probably pay their protection money in Antigua.

We will now remain until the end of February in Antigua, and operate at Familias de Esperanza. Then we are on your own Central America explore but do not know yet exactly where we go, because we can possibly only in Mexico or Costa Rica Renew our visa on 4 March expires. But that nobody knows so precisely all know who they could still join us.

Because otherwise non-happening a lot lately, we have uploaded a few pictures containing. Sometimes nice to just look, and not always so much to read.

We greet you all.

My favorite beer thirst in various units

Twice we were Earthloddge, a relaxed avocado farm in the mountains, where for 3.10 CHF in the tent can stay overnight and many experienced:

Earthloddge: This "animal" turned out to be only as such, as we kept it for kindling, and abolished for our fire. Unfortunately it was lost a leg.

Earthloddge: This spider I saw on the toilet, before going to bed. I photographed it, and wanted to make for better pictures on the hand. Unfortunately, it is me then ran away. It was only when I showed the photos to an Guatemalans, he told me that this is a very poisonous spider bite caused her paralysis, and savage pain, but rarely deadly ends.
