The good things:It was very fascinating to participate in a project, starting almost from scratch.







Watching it grow, bit by bit, even building the chairs for the arriving volunteers to save money.





I got to see a Peruvian army base from the inside, and visited indigenous villages as they are, with Manchester United T-shirts, boomboxes and so on. It was a really very non-touristy under the skin experience. I learned a lot of things about working like that in a country like this and about organising things. A








lso it was a great experience to see the Peruvian river villages and especially San Lorenzo (50000 inhabitants, no road access, no cars, no tourists, but apart from that everything you would expect from a city of this size). In fact so great that the next thing I will do is travel to Brazil on these rivers. Other than that, I got to sleep in very savage rainforest a few times which was a great experience
