Lending a Hand

Ten years ago, Hurricane Ivan devastated Grenada & to this day, you can still see the effects.  One building that never got restored was the old Public Library - it still stands closed.  My room-mate Linda befriended a local writer/author who has taken the initiative to open a small library where children and the community can borrow books or simply sit down in a comfy room to read.  Oonya is an incredible person who opened this library on top of a store a few months ago & already has over 400 members.  To help spruce up the little library, I joined in to help paint it.  Here's pictures of me, Oonya (on ladder) and, Linda painting away this past Saturday (PS... there's no air conditioning!)

To complete this weekend... I joined my room-mates & their colleagues on a Sunday afternoon catamaran trip - a nice way to see the island from a distance.
