Greetings from Ilha da Santa Catalina, Brazil. A place with an all round happy vibe where you can get drinks in melons. Last week, we finished one month at project Karumbe, on the Uruguayan Coast. All the photos of Valizas and Coronilla are loaded into the Uruguay album. Thanks to Mariana, Matias, Phillip, Ben, Shayla, and Steph for a fun 2nd fortnight. Biz has deepened his relationship with Patcha Mamma.

Hello Grace - I only just saw your comment! This is Bec (BSharp).
I hope you have continued on to volunteer with Karumbe - it is a great project run by really dedicated people!
If you have simple questions - put them here, but they tell a lot on the website...

I wrote this blog a few years ago, so things might be different now.
