The WEP team, above, has been a busy bunch these last few days!
After speaking with the staff at the local elementary school, we were asked to help them put together an earthquake preparedness plan, as well as give a talk on recycling and a first aid workshop. After working with the staff on day 1, we put our plan to the test first thing the next morning doing a full earthquake drill with the entire school. We couldn`t be happier with how smoothly it all went and the great reception we got from everyone.
We also held a packed surboard ding repair clinic for thel local groms. Since the clinic, we keep coming across small groups of kids huddled together with face masks on and bits of sandpaper working away on their boards…also great to see.
On the agenda over the weekend is a much-anticipated remote beach cleanup. We have rented a boat for the day and will take a group of local kids along to tidy up the beach and surf a few waves to cool off!
Stay tuned for more pics and updates as we wrap up what has been an amazing trip.
