2017

Synopsis At the beginning of the day, we started by going to the Bregado Flax local high school as part of our service project. I helped out by organizing children's books on the newly built library for the primary and high school students. Afterwards, I worked on carrying dirt up onto the second floor to mix with gravel and make...

Our final day of activities in the BVI was upon us, and the roosters were absolutely relentless outside our cabin. Our morning was a little slow, but it quickly picked up as we learned about our service project and prepared ourselves for a hard day of work. Our job was to help build and organize the school's first library...

Starting off this morning we went off to eat breakfast, then got the sun screen ready because today we weren't going dive. On the agenda for today was our service project and our presentations over our projects that we did on our dives. This time we didn't take Glenn to get to our destination, we just walked. We went...

Today we woke up at 7:35 and we could not dive today because tommorow we had to fly and we could not have excess nitrogen in our systems or we could get the bends. After breakfast we went to the local high school for our community service project. For our project we fixed the landscaping for the school. There...

Our last day in the British Virgin Islands has been another fun and engaging day. We started the day off by preparing breakfast with my project group. I spiced things up a little bit by making eggs that were thoughtfully donated to me by Eduardo. After we had a successful breakfast, we got ready to leave at 8:40 for...

Today was our sixth and final full day here on Virgin Gorda. The morning was routine with us waking up and eating breakfast at the chosen cabin. Once we finished breakfast, we changed clothes and began to walk down to the local high school at 8:45. Our task for the day was to complete a service project for this...

Today, I woke up happy that I would finally return to Dallas tomorrow. I approached everything with a skip in my step. During the service project, I constantly had a smile on my face as I hauled buckets of gravel and soil with a frayed rope that hurt my hands. I ate a donut and drank water for halftime...

We couldn't dive due to the fact that we are flying tomorrow, but the day was not one spent just lying aroumd. Once everyone has eaten breakfast, we woke up and headed to the local high school to help Unite BVI build a library and a garden. Unite BVI was founded by Richard Branson and aims to help both...

Today is the last day, and I'm not really sure how I feel about that, I'm feeling happy, but also sad, let's recap the day and maybe it will allow me to feel my emotions better, so i woke up and everyone picked at the last remaining scraps of breakfast food, and by scraps it meant superfluous amounts of...
