Reports from Alpha 3 and Alpha 4 Comms Officers

Christine Harry´s Missing Message from Yesterday:
Alpha 3 are working hard and playing hard. The first few mornings were spent clearing camp and setting up basha beds. Afternoons were spent washing in the river and learning Spanish / English. Once the group have mastered these, lessons in Cantonese, Dutch and Scouse are on the cards. So far we’ve come up close and personal with a giant butterfly, parrots, toucans, kinkajoos, poisonous tree frogs, scorpions and tarantulas. The group has been rocked by revelations that Kier, during his punk phase, once sported long, blue hair and even contemplated multiple piercings. All this and it’s only day three!

Blog from Alpha 4 - Camaronal
After a long and tiring eight hour journey, Alpha 4 finally arrived at their Pacific paradise of Playa Camaronal. After the furore of unpacking, we assembled our sleeping areas and quickly raised our mosquito nets before dusk. Half the group took the luxury of sea loft apartments complete with scorpions and ants, while the other half inhabited the alfresco beach condo! The group then split into two shifts, morning and night, to run a smooth schedule of building the path or ‘Stairway to Heaven’ with a view overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The other group have the duty of accompanying Rangers in the night to help the turtles lay their eggs safely away from the poachers. Even with only two night shifts under the team’s belts, they have successfully secured the eggs from three turtle’s nests, potentially saving the lives of 400 baby turtles. Fifty leatherback turtles have also been released from the hatchery and safely escorted to the sea. The morning shift has suffered a few trials and tribulations but they are now crafting steps that Michelangelo would be proud of. Extracurricular activities include swimming, Spanish lessons and fishing. The shifts soon change but the team are excited about finishing the current tasks at hand and continuing the excellent job.
