welp, we are here on the last 2 weeks of service. that means that it is time to frantically start working on those final projects, and maybe do some work on the village study as well. I mean, being studious is of course, an excellent virtue .
We went out to the jungle this week, and slept out in hammocks under the pouring rain (under plastic of course), and were catching birds and butterflies. we were supposed to also catch bats, but that got rained out during the night. With this project, you catch the animals by putting out a large net, and then taking them out of the net, noting the species, measuring various features of the birds, and then letting them go free. it is basically just a simple system of monitoring what birds are in what area, although I am not entirely sure of the exact nature of the project considering that we are only voluteers who are not really sure what we are doing, and the person in charge of course, speaks a language that I really do not understand
Anyways, we are down to less than 2 weeks, and should be heading home sometime soon in august. Nothing particularly new to report, other than that we are still doing a lot of hiking, and a lot of swimming during the afternoons. There is lot of rain right now, which is a good cure to the lots of heat that was present earlier. Hope to hear from you all sometime soon.
