We've been out here for about three weeks now and it's going really well. Jon is working with years 8, 9 and 10 at the school every day of the week, teaching them how to use computers too. He also spends his Fridays coaching them in football, which they love! I've been working with a group of adults every morning, then teaching years 4, 5 and 6 twice a week, as well as the other teachers at the school two afternoons a week.

We're just getting used to the routines of life in the jungle. The River Napo is our shower, the jungle is our toilet, we wear wellies wherever we go, but get sunburnt if we're out too long. We have a house frog called Albert, who jumped on my face the other day. So, a lot to get used to, but it's a great experience. We're both working on our Spanish, which was nil before we came here but is getting better every day.

I guess the thing that makes everything special is the people who live in the Sani community. They have been so kind to us, helping us to settle in and generally being very welcoming. I'm looking forward to getting to know them more over the coming months.
