Pictures! Part III

Yesterday we got back from a 2 night/3 day trip to the Shanklands, which is located on the Essequibo River. We took a bus from Georgetown east to Parika (45 mins). From there we boarded a speed boat and headed up the Essequibo to Shanklands (50 mins).

Shanklands is a “resort” and was quite charming. The idea was to take the volunteers on a little trip before we were sent off to our jobs. We were separated into groups of men and women and were placed in guest houses.

There was a lot to do, including swimming, kayaking, playing chess (with a giant chess board), hiking and hanging out in the sun. We have a couple of educational videos for everyone to watch… Unfortunately I can’t upload them with my current internet situation. I guess that’s what I get for scamming off the internet from the pub across the street. Stay tuned.

It was a great little trip, enjoy the rest of the photos.
