We started our day practicing our presentations with Adrian Pinto. At eleven we start our final presentations and finished them at noon. Soon, next fall each group will present their independent research project. We then had our final lunch and said goodbye to Pinto.

After lunch, we headed into town to do community service for the local butterfly garden. This involved us cutting particular "weeds" and planting them for the women running the butterfly garden.It was truly nice to help out the friendly community we have been living in. When our work was completed we bought beaded bracelets that the women made.

| At the end of the day we need to remember that St George's School prepares its graduates to live lives of service to God and the world. Estaban Daniel is the son of Carlos, a local village resident who works at Finca La Anita that helped us find ant colonies this week, cleared paths with his machete and drove the tractor so that we didn't need to carry the plants today. Daniel will have more resources in his community growing up because of the mariposario (butterfly farm) that needed the plants we found and transplanted today. |
