Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>In January 14th to 28th 2012 I took part of a self funding team of mad, intrepid adventures trecking across Nicaragua from san Juan Del Sur to bluefields 'by any means', plus completed a service project on route. The Project was to revamp one of the local schools playground: Tillue school located in Ometepe. the children of the school welcomed all off the team. It was amazing most of the children came to welcome us, they wanted to help with the sanding down of the old chairs and tables, help paint the playgrounds swings, slides, see saw. When we finished the project the children put an a show of local dancing and singing especially for the team. The parents provided a much welcomed fantastic buffet for us. All of the team completed the long trek across Nicaragua from San san Juan Del Sur to bluefields.</p> <p>.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
