Things volunteers do for fun:

This is our Christmas feast, almost entirely prepared by Master Chef Meagan (who's in the headband and probably wishes I'd picked a more flattering photo). With the poorest of resources she proved to be incredibly resourceful. We were truly astounded and grateful.
This is what happens when the kids (like Troy here) step out of line. That's an elephant leg bone from the game park we got to visit. Yeah it's real and heavy. We saw live elephants too. Pics later.
This is a shot of all the vols I got to host through most of Dec/Jan. We were only all together for about 3 days while some were coming and some going. From left to right: Sam ("Judge"); Mark (just Mark); Stephen ("the question"); Paul ("Asteroid"); Meagan (the girl); Troy ("Fatback"); and me ("Chief").
This was not an uncommon thing for me to see in my rear view mirror. Lazy punks. Just jokes. It's more funny cause only Asteroid and I knew I took the picture.
Here we are trying to introduce the Africans to bobsledding. I know what you're think and yes Africans could fit 8 in a bobsled. Actually we were just helping a guy who was stuck in the sand. Or at least I was helping for a while before I stopped to take this pic.
