May Newsletter 2009: Amazon Teaching Project
Hello again,
Welcome to our May newsletter for the Arajuno Road Project, as always we have been living through the constantly changing combination of sunshine and rain, although there seems to have been a bit more sunshine recently, I feel a storm brewing....
April 2009 Newsletter: Amazon Teaching Project
Hello Everyone,
2009 has already seen a lot of change, I swear that time goes faster on the equator, which is why your time at the project flew by (at least I think it did for most of you). We’ve said goodbye to our coordinator Beth, and wish her all the best in the future. As a result I’ve been back in Ecuador since mid-March and will be here until we have a new project manager. We are changing the set-up so that there is a manager just to deal with the administration side of the project and to always have 2 or 3 assistant coordinators to help with the schools.
Where the money goes
We believe that volunteer projects should be as open as possible about where volunteer placement fees go. Volunteers are paying to offer their services and have a right to know how their contributions are distributed.

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.
