This first picture is from a trip into the jungle we made. I think I blogged about the man with the monkey...well this is the place! In it you see his family, me, and the younger looking Indonesian lady is Imelda, one of our Meulaboh staff.
This next one is of one of the children's library at one of our satellite poskos. The village kids love coming here to read with our staff and check out books in Indonesian. The program really helps to encourage rural children to learn Indonesian rather than just their native dialect.
And this is a zoomed out picture of the posko and library. On the right is where our two staff members live during the week. On weekends they head on into the main camp where we stay in Calang. On the left is the library.
This beautiful place is en route to one of the villages we work in. If the river is low enough on the other side you can pay $.50 to have a ferry (two john boats with some barrels in between and boards connecting the whole mess) carry you, your motorbike or your 4 wheel-drive pickup truck across this gorgeous area of the jungle. It saves about 45 min of drive time.
This last shot was taken while we did some casual fishing. Handmade poles using some bamboo from our backyard and shrimp made for some great tackle. We didn't catch anything but the view is worth the wait!

The Rambung Posko looks so different! And the library looks fantastic!

Great photos. But I was having trouble picking you out of the group picture.
Thanks Bro. You're a joy :)
Thanks for keeping the blog going because we really look forward to your updates. I'm sure the grandparents do also. It was nice to see some pictures of you and your surroundings. Hope things are going well for you. Be careful. Miss you.
Dad
