This was the second time dyeing eggs with the Limes kids and it was again a hit. Although I'm pretty sure they still got more excited about eating the eggs afterward. :)

Goodbye Sarah & Drew!
Sarah and Drew have done so much for the Limes Program the past 3 months and I don't know how to properly thank them. From the first time they came to help in January, I was worried the chaos and drama would scare them away, but I soon realized they were not afraid of a challenge. They came every day after that and not only been a huge support and encouragement to me, but also impacted so many of the children's lives while they were volunteering. Unfortunately, they have to leave Grenada for now (although Drew will be back in August to take over for me...yay!). Thank you again ladies for everything you've done for me and these kids. You will not be forgotten!

Being a tourist on my island
Molly, one of the Peace Corps volunteers from St. Vincent, came to visit Grenada and her family met up with her as well. They're so cute (they all got scuba-certified and go on dive trips together) and I had so much fun spending time with them. I also loved playing tour guide and getting to share the Isle of Spice culture with them. And getting a delicious dinner at a nice restaurant...thank you Okuneffs!

Sparkle Sparkle Little Teeth
I've been so fortunate to have 2 regular volunteers at the Limes After-School Program these past few months, Drew & Sarah (wives of medical students down here), so I've taken advantage of the extra hands to teach the kids some basic life skills:

Grensave's International Food & Drink Festival
One of my community partners, an NGO called Grensave: Save the Children Agency, had their annual fundraiser today with vendors from all different countries selling their food and crafts. I was in charge of organizing the Children's Village again, so I recruited all the Peace Corps Volunteers for another crazy day of the Bouncy Castle, face-painting, and raffle prizes (and psycho mothers). We had a great turnout, raised a lot of money, and no one was seriously injured on the Bouncy Castle...it was a good day!
