Hey, Ashley and Shana here!
Today we had a really busy day, painting the Youth Quake building. We started painting the kitchen and office. The heat was a bit too much for some people… SHANA. Who fell asleep! It was fun to play with the kids; Sehrish had a little boy called Junior following her. We managed to paint most of the outside building but the lads needed to get up the ladders to paint the top. Annie bravely climbed up them in her Lara Croft shorts lol.
We had a game of basketball… Lauren is tooo good at shooting and needs to let other people win! After a long hard day painting we went to ‘Screw’s’ which is a sulphur spring spa which was AMAZING! 4 different pools of water each a different temperature. Could just bathe and relax in the pools, Barbara seemed to enjoy herself! Ashley, Barbara and Matt bought some mud which they put on their faces; Emily bought volcanic sand scrub. It made our skin feel sooo gooood! Riza couldn’t get in the pools due to his foot. When he finally got in he just kept his foot stuck out which was a very funny sight. We had Halal chicken for a change thanks to Andy. So Rebecca, Emily and Ashley made cheesy mash with chicken and salad for dinner which went down quite well if I may say so myself! (Ashley) However, Rebecca was too busy sleeping to help make it!! We had dinner at about 10pm as we’d had a long tiring day so it was good to sit down and eat a good meal. Shana washed up… I have to mention this apparently. If Shana’s mum is reading… make her wash up when she gets home & also make her grate cheese. Everyone was too tired to do anything else after the long day so it was time for a well deserved sleep after all the painting, well done everyone!

Barbara and Shana here!
Yet more painting! Shana, Annie, Matt, Rebecca and Althia went to the Alpha Centre to finish stenciling and everyone else went to the Youth Quake to finish off the outside. It was a shame that they already had some paint – Mushroom and Grey, we would have preferred bright colours like the rest of the buildings in Dominica. Thanks to Lennox and the staff at Youth Quake for the delicious food and the tropical fresh drinks. We gave some football shirts that we collected, assortment of books, games etc. Great day though and was a great achievement to paint an entire building in just over a day :D
