We are in San Pedro and all is well.

Here are some photos from our course.

The Brazil Course reports:
Friday has been a very busy day in Brazil. We started with a Capoeira lesson, our first of three. The first picture is the class as a group learning some of the basic moves…this one is a defensive move. In the 2nd picture Chase Keller and Dave Day are showing off what they have learned. We then went to visit an HIV/AIDs NGO called Grappa. We finished our day with the beginning of our major service project…working with an NGO called Laborarte which takes discarded materials and turns them into beautiful art, teaching at risk teens to make the art. They are starting to work more with the elderly, also, and our project is to make Carnival decorations for a public assisted living facility. Some kids from a local orphanage are helping us, too. Today we painted and cut and we were joined by some of the elderly folks and some of the orphans. On Saturday we will continue making our art and on Monday we will decorate the facility. It has been very moving experience for us already. The third picture from Brazil today is one table of our students, along with a few kids from the orphanage, making flowers out of the bottoms of discarded 2 liter soda bottles.
The Ireland Course reports:
Greetings from the Emerald Isle! We finally found an Internet cafe where we can upload pictures. You can see our students here at the Cliffs of Moher, with the Aran Islands and O'Brien's Tower in the background. We were lucky to have sunny weather even though it was very windy on the Cliffs. Then we stopped by the Burren, which is an area of limestone rock. We're enjoying our final day in Galway, despite the rain, and then we'll be off to Kylemore Abbey and Sligo tomorrow.
