Today is the first sunny day in about a week, which Is awesome.

The past few days have been interesting. The Pichinat displacement camp had some serious problems this week. In addition to about 5 inches of standing water, the manager of the camp found a few things out. Apparently, there have been adults within the camp involved in child prostitution. Imagine this: you are in tent city with nearly 8 thousand others, it is rain season and kids a dying frequently of disease, and you find out that people around you are taking advantage of these kids and making money off of them. This has to be an absolutely new low. So, the manager of the camp, as pissed off as she must have been when she found out, made an anouncement about these events. In turn, she was arrested and jailed for speaking out about it! If you cannot believe this I assure you I didn't either and hoped it wasn't true. Unfortunately that is the reality here.

This past wednesday there was some protests in town. I'm not sure what these people were protesting but they were burning the american and venezuelan flags. Aren't they here helping?

The camera crew left. One of them got really sick but they got some great footage. I found out one of the guys did a music video for the jonas brothers and worked on snakes on a plane and other movies. Pretty impressive for being 22 years old.

Ill update more when I can get on a real computer. Sorry about the spelling I'm on my blackberry. 27 new volunteers coming in tomorrow, should be fun.
