The second
day we decided to make a trip to the beaches where we were going to teach the
homeless how to collect and eat coconut (I have to admit that it was Ray’s
idea). So we woke up early in the morning and started walking to the beach that
was very far, the idea was to walk and when we spot a homeless to make him part
of the “lesson”, so when we arrived we got like 20 homeless. Ray was disappointed
because he wanted more people to go… but 20 people it’s a very good start (in
my opinion). We arrived just at lunchtime and started cutting branches of trees
(we didn’t want the tree to die, that’s why we didn’t cut down) and when we had
enough wood we started making the stairs with hammers and constructing stuff. When
we finally made them everybody was starving (we didn’t though about the time
lost on constructing the stairs) then we used the stairs to reach the coconuts
that were at the top of the palm trees and finally we made a hole on each
coconut to reach the “milk”, “sauce”… (The milk of a coconut is one of the
richest foods on vitamins). Everybody had fun and we were actually really
helping the homeless. When we decided to return to the city it was too late… it
was the night already so we decided to sleep at the beach.
When we woke up everybody was
there. And Tom had the great idea of playing a football game all together. And
with the football, the beach, the sun, the coconut we had the best day of our lives!!
And Then Alice decided to bring some fishing rods and she taught people how to
fish. So that night we all ate fish and drink coconut milk! I had a very satisfying
feeling, because everything that we were doing was produced by ourselves, it’s funny
to say it this way but we were like a mini-community.
The next day we woke up
absolutely amazed by what was happening. Belive it or not, the homeless people
were constructing houses!!! They took the constructing stuff and cut trees and
made houses, they were not real houses… they were more like rigid tents but it’s
something incredible anyway. That day we constructed houses for everybody and
then we left… we didn´t wanted to leave but… The guys (Tom, Alice…) wanted to
visit their families so we left but we were so excited by what we created… we
created a real civilization, they had houses, food, entertainment, everything! So
we promised the “homeless” (that now had houses, so they were not homeless
anymore) that we would return in 2 or 3 days. It was the best experience of my
entire life.
