03/09/2004 - More news from Ben, he has arrived in Annai village and taught his first lesson. Having a few culture shocks with regards to his accomodation, more details later. Click here to read an account published in the local Guyanan newspaper regarding the project trust volunteers. In the picture Ben is standing at the back....I think!!!
26/08/2004 - Well he's arrived!!! First contact from Ben, he arrived safe in Georgetown the capital of Guyana despite a temptation to go "missing" in Barbados on the way!! Apparently he's been busy practising the Guyanese art of sitting in the sun doing nothing.
18/08/2004 - Only 1 week until I leave for guyana on 25th August, I cannot believe it is almost here!!! If you want to contact me or receive news by email while I am in Guyana click here for my special contact details, it would be nice to hear from you, if you are too late and I have gone my dad will keep this web site up to date with any news or you can send an email to newsofben@aol.com address and he will forward it to me or send you any information he has about how I am getting on
