Community Service Continues in Salvador

Once leaving the beautiful city of Paraty, we spent Tuesday travelling by bus to Rio, then a short flight to Salvador. Angela and Judy from ProWorld met us at the airport. They are really friendly and gave us a briefing on the week ahead. We arrived at the hostel in Salvador around 7pm and had time to settle in before dinner. The hostel owner Augusto made a wonderful meal and we spent the night recovering at the half-way point of the trip.

Yesterday, we enjoyed a late breakfast and then met up with Angela and Judy for a city tour of Salvador. We saw the beautiful historical area, tried some of the traditional sweets, and learned about some of the culture and history of the city. From there, we went for lunch, walked around some more, and then arrived at the Permaculture Centre where we had a class in Capoeira planned from 4-6pm. The boys had a great time learning the basics, then sparring with the instructors and each other. We returned to the hostel for another great dinner with Augusto.

Today we are off to a school in a poor urban community to continue the community service project started by St. Andrew~s last week.
