Thursday by Chris, JuhYun, and Patrick






















Today, we started our day off at “Bois Jalon” beach. It was one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen but there was a lot of trash on the beach. We took three hours to clean and pick up trash all along the beach. We found out the types of trees that are poisonous on the beach while we were cleaning. The beach was more beautiful than any postcard or picture we have ever seen. It was also one of the least populous beaches on this island. Next we had some free time next to the regular beach we have gone to every day so far. The day was sad because it was the last day at the middle school we have been going to. We answered questions and interacted with different activities. Then we had to say our goodbyes to the children. We spent time in the teacher’s lounge as they served us pastries and snacks. To wrap up the day we debriefed, thought of ways to better the education system, and participated in a group leadership activity.
