High School trip to the Laguna

Donors to La Esperanza sponsor about 50 or so kids through high school/secondary school and as a motivational trip last week we took them all to Laguna Apoyo, a volcanic lake reputed to be the deepest in the americas, close to Granada. Organised chaos would be one way of describing the day, from the outset on the quite ridiculous and dangerously packed pick-up above to the end making sure we had them all home. Of the 50 kids only about 5 could swim so as you can imagine it wasn´t the most relaxing of days. Many had never seen the lake before so were doubly excitied so it was quite remarkable that we had only one near drowning!

Not a bad way to spend a day at work.
