Boys up to no good in their dugout canoes

Everyone took a part in cleaning the school once we got back into it, even the little ones.

Dugout canoes on the beach at Pierre La Lanterne, a tiny cay near Ile A Vache with a population of approximately 200 fishermen including their families.
Classic rigging on "Fufei", with old donated Dacron sailcloth.
"Fufei"'s sails are made up of three smaller sails donated to the island over the years.
Some of these children don't even have access to a mirror to see what they look like, so it's quite a novelty when someone with a camera comes through.
Boys playing catch in Baie La Hatte as Fufei, our supply boat, sails in with some fresh cut timber.
An orphaned girl watches one of the fishermen tending to one of the donated sails.
