At the first village our accommodation was
in the Karen people’s homes. We spilt into two groups and put up our mosquito
nets and arranged our thin mattresses.
Our group volunteer task our first full day
at the village was planting coffee seeds. We used hoes to dig up soil, mixed it
with animal fertiliser and planted about 200 seeds in small bags. When they are
grown into seedlings these will be planted out under the shade of large trees.
To wash away the worst of the dirt we headed
for a beautiful waterfall in the next valley. It was a cool and refreshing power
shower. That evening after a delicious dinner we gathered round the campfire
underneath a blanket of stars.
Sarah out hoeing!
