The rain and wind storm that blew through yesterday created problems for many of the local tribes. We headed out this morning to help clean up debris for a tribe called the Wounaan. I have this feeling that "lost in translation" will become a common theme (quickly)! We have Spanish translators and through them the village people asked up to help move a rock that was blocking their water supply and it was nearby. Well, "nearby" took about an hour of hiking through the jungle and the "rock" was more of a boulder. We moved it enough to take some of the pressure off of the pipe to allow water to flow again. I am SO tired, but it was wonderful to be able to help them out in such a practical way.
The picture below shows one of the boats that we used to travel in. This is the view from the village, looking towards the 5-star resort across the water. Two entirely different worlds, separated by only a few miles of water.
Picture thanks to Joanna (our group photographer for the day)!
Beautiful shot with such a depth of perspective behind it. You're doing it--- using photography to capture the beauty of a world that needs to address injustices....
