ahhhhh :)
project was great, stressful but very awesome and fun and rewarding too.
i spent my birthday there, and my very amazing wonderful friends got me a very amazing and wonderful present because they are brilliant and i am very lucky :)
so thanks to them! :D ♥
we gave the children socks and shoes and they were very happy,
and we painted their nursery, medical centre, gave them running water and made their playground lovely and flat and colourful and taught the children silly random games. it was great!
we all have lots of pictures to upload when we get the chance which is exciting cause they make me smile lots.
now we're onto R&R which is a bit good. markets here we come!

Day 18 - Charlie's version
Errrm okay, so, project is over which is a massive relief. It was amazing and one of the best experiences of my life, especially on friday when we gave all the children brand new shoes. I'll fill in the details when i get back of course but i spent most of the week painting a nursery, lugging rocks around and a bit of time teaching and playing a lot of duck duck goose.
Now we're on R and R which is nice, we're going to spend 3 days down in a place called Aleppi to go on a backwater rice boat and do some market shopping, it's going to be fab.
Then on friday when we get back to Kochi we're going to go to an elephant orphanage and wash some elephants :) Happy times.
Love you all xx

Day 8 - Charlie's Version
Hey Everyone, We just got back to Kochi from our trekking phase.
It was a bit amazing and much better than i thought it was going to be. We saw wild elephants, monkeys and befriended some goats. I was really sad because i missed the last day of trekking with 5 other people because we got a HORRIBLE stomach bug, but it wasnt the end of the world. I think world challenge were going to contact you about our project phase changing and it has. Which sucks not so much because its in a different place but because it means more tents :(
I would love to rant and post a much longer post but i have a queue of 6 people behind me all waiting for a chance on this computer.
I love you all lots and i'll fill in the details when i return :)
Byeee for now xxxxxxx

Day 3 - Charlie's version
Hey guys! Guess what?!
We're in India!
That's quite exciting isn't it?
The travelling over was a bit crazy, i didnt sleep at all on the long flight so that was a bit rubbish. Then the folks at Mumbai airport didn't like us very much and hustled and bustled us everywhere because we were such a big group, but we survived :) So all is happy and good.
The hostel where we stayed last night was nice and cool because of fans and things and we went to a really lovely restaurant for dinner yesterday and had proper authentic Indian for the first time which was lovely.
Today we went and met our trekking guides and things. Turns out the trek is longer than we thought it was going to be (now 5 days). But it sounds really lovely and apparently every group who've done this route this year have seen wild elephants!
We also went to a nice local market and i got some new jewellery and stuff which is a bit good.
Tonight we're staying in the same hostel for one more night of relative luxury, before getting up at 5 tomorrow morning to head to the start of out trek.
We'll be off the radar while we're there so i wont write again for a bit.
Love you guys xx
