Jungle Living
Submitted by Arajuno Road Project on Thu, 04/12/2008 - 17:00The long path that has been taken in building the volunteer house for the Arajuno Road Project has been well documented, but now it is actually here, what is it like to live at the project?
Summer School 2008
Submitted by Arajuno Road Project on Mon, 01/09/2008 - 11:02One of my favourite games as a child was a treasure hunt. My dad would draw the clues and i would spend hours running around the house to find the few pennies that were treasure. It seemed the perfect game for the last day of a very successful summer school (Actividad de Vacciones).
A Day in the Life of a jungle Volunteer
Submitted by Arajuno Road Project on Thu, 14/08/2008 - 15:37I’m coming to the end of my 2 week placement on the Arajuno Road Project and I’m really going to miss it. Bar getting up at 7am, everything about the school day is brilliant. You start the day walking to school through the Amazon, arrive at a school where the kids are lovely and the lessons are creative, and then finish in time for lunch in your wooden jungle home. It’s awesome.
Jungle Trek
Submitted by Arajuno Road Project on Thu, 14/08/2008 - 13:22Water? check. Mosquito repellent? check. Wellies? check. Woman wielding a machete? check.
So we´re ready to go on our jungle trek.

Finally... we have buses running past the volunteer house, saves us the walk up the hill, no morning 1 but 1 to bring us back from school
-
We have had a week of glorious sunshine, making it truly feel like summer (yep even on the equator).
-
Kites are in fashion in the jungle at the moment. Surely we'll be able to have a better attempt than the last time we tried to made kites.

Summer school is into its 2nd week, and everyone is getting very creative. Lots of activities, games and crafts.
