Donation for volunteer work in Tacloban

Hi everyone!

As some of you might know I'm going to the Philippines for almost 5 weeks to do volunteer work for Streetlight (http://streetlight.org/)

Since everyone doesn't have the chance to go and do something like this I hereby invite you to make a donation. The money collected will be used to make sure that new and ongoing projects in Streetlight will have enough funding.

While I'm in Tacloban I'll do some English teaching, so for this I might need some accessories for school, books, pencils, etc. so if there is money available I can easily provide this for the students.

If there is any money left over from the donations this will go directly to the project http://streetlight.org/our-projects/encyclopedia-and-dictionaries

I hope some of you have the possibility to help Streetlight doing an even better job in Tacloban.

When making a transfer, please state your name in the info and if possible send me an e-mail to let me know. My e-mail address is einargu@gmail.com. Please mention Tacloban/Streetlight in the subject field.

Last days in Bangkok, Philippines next!

On Wednesday I went out for lunch with a Russian friend of mine who I met on the Great Wall in China, and since it was happy hour at the place we had late lunch it turned out to be a long night out. On Friday I tried the local boat transport on the Saen Saep Express Boat, this is a service mostly used by locals, so this was a dirty, but interesting experience.
On Saturday I went with my friend Yupapun to a nice park in the east of Bangkok, we rented a small boat for an hour and pedalled around in a lake full of fish. The hunt for ice cream was imminent since it was 34 degrees today, unfortunately they didn't sell any in the park so we had to get some later at the mall.

Having some drinks with Ayuna on the roof top bar called the Nest.

Nice park in the east of Bangkok with many European style gardens and a lot of water.
Nice flowers in the park, don't smell them if you're a guy
