Project Week - All Saints Secondary School

Well we have now been here for a full week. Unfortunately we still cannot upload photos but we are working on that. This week we have been working on our community project with All Saints Secondary School and St Andrews Hospital in Mtunthama.

We have been doing various jobs through the week including construction, helping out at the hospital, teaching the students and helping re-paint the sign at the entrance. While we stay here we have been given a house which is a great luxury though we're still sleeping in tents to avoid the mosquitos.

Our most important contribution has been to the construction of the science laboratory. Not only have we been helping to build it but we have also been using our project money to help pay for things like cement and bricks.

So far the group has managed to get by without loosing or breaking any equipment which is a good start and if we keep it up for the other three quaters of the trip that'll be great.

Hello Diane its your son here. Hope all is well at home including my fishing rod. I have not been bitten by any mozzies yet.
PS Remember Hebridean chicken for when I come back. Love Calum x

Kim has a special request for her Mum and Dad that they make her Hebridian Chicken, Kerrs Pinks potatoes and lots of sweetcorn for when she gets home.

Hi Mum and Dad. I can't remember whether you're in Orkney or not yet but if you are I hope you're having a good time looking at piles of rocks and if you're not then I hope you have a safe trip there. The mess in the airport in Glasgow shouldn't affect you so everything'll be fine. I really hope you have something good cooking for when I get back. See you soon Mum and not so soon Dad,
Alasdair xx

Hi. Glad to hear all is well and you are all enjoying yourselves and working hard. Keep up the good work and it very quiet around here. x x x x x

Oliver06 from Islay


Sounds like you have been worked very hard. Glad to hear it! Are the pics stuck in the camera? What are your thoughts and feelings as you work in these places?

Ian Stuart from Islay


Clearly, there is nothing like home cooking. Dieting will not be on the menu when those young folks get home. Good for them.

mjc from NM, USA


Hi Lewis, It sounds like you are all having a great time.It was the French Grand Prix on Sunday and its Silverstone this week end. The Ferraris are back!!!! Makes for a good race. Keep rubbing in the Factor 40, stay well and be safe. xxxxx

Stephanie! from Bowmore


Rain is battering against the windows here. It has basically rained since Saturday afternoon. Friday was a superb day for the Pillage - we rowed the skiff from Bowmore to Bruichladdich then round the Oa to Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg then on up the Sound of Islay as the sun was setting to Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain. Had to "sleep" on a bench near the pier there for three hours in the middle of the night while we waited for the tide to turn - then rowed back down the Sound, round the bottom of Jura and up to Craighouse. Tired after that and the last crew had it tough coz the weather deteriorated. My bits were much easier. Good fun but was glad to get to my bed. Going to Orkney on Friday for some serious stones. Glad to hear all is well.

Carl Reavey from PC


How do you cook Hebridean chicken? Why is it different to Malawian chicken?

Jamie Oliver from Fifteen


Hope you can get us a photo for the paper that comes out on Saturday - we would need it for Thursday morning absolute latest.... Dont worry if you cant - but it would be kinda cool to have a pic for the folks back home while you are out there - and that means it is now or never coz by the time the next issue comes out you will be on your way home...!! Cheers

Cathie, Carnain from Islay


In view of the various references to Hebridean/Hebridian chicken, would someone care to elaborate on its ancestry, preparation etc? Is it as good as Popeye's spicy chicken? Are the gizzards etc. used to make Hebridean gravy? Are they like powdermilk biscuits, and do they make all the adolescents above average? Must it be prepared in a twenty year old Aga/Rayburn for the flavor to come out? Acutely curious (eh?!) ...

mjc from NM,USA


Hiya Russ! Hope everything is going well with the trek and that we hear from you all soon!! Everything at home is fine, Steph and I are away to Glasgow tomorrow for a few days. MacIntyres are over just now, Douglas went away on Sunday but is coming back last wkend in july. We are all missing you and can't wait to see you - only one week and six days. xxxx

See you soon, enjoy the safari everybody. xxxxx
