So i'm currently on holiday from school till the 16th of April. There's kids on every corner laughing and skipping, children running about so giddy with excitement that they hardly know what to do with themselves. Some run past me pushing an old tyre with a stick that conjures images of an old Dickens novel. Amd of course some of them work. Child labour does exist here as farms won't tend themselves and water doesn't always magically pour from the taps, it must be carried from the stream a long way from home.
My plan is to go on an excursion to Korup national park. Meredith was up for it too but unfortuneately she has a lot of uni work to do.
I can get a ride to Kumba with Ines who has a conference to attend there for two weeks, then i go on to Mundemba and the jungle (get your google maps out) I have been told to not travel alone but once you get there you are assigned a guide. It would be nice to share it with someone else though. I don't know.
Next week there are two Danish girls arriving and in May there is another Dutch volunteer. Also in May there are five Americans staying for two weeks then going on to Mamfe where i will go with them as i hear it's beautiful up there. So there should be fun ahead.
