RE: My Promo-Mentors Writing Challenge: Hope in the mountains

What a wonderful story of people helping each other in trying times. Good on you for your voluntary work and helping with the school. Man, I think if I climbed a mountain in the tropical heat, even without a bunch of supplies I would be in trouble. Irish ancestory means I took 2 months to acclimatized to the heat when I was in Thailand then I had 2 weeks after I had acclimatized before I had to fly home ;-)

I would love to visit Philippines one day, for the culture and diving the reefs. I studied eskrima for a year once here in the UK. I wasn't very good and would soon get my knuckles smashed if I tried any of that over in Philippines, ha ha. Thanks for sharing your experiences maverick, it was great to see everyone pulling together in your group

Sort:  

There are a lot of great diving spots down South maybe @andywong31 can introduce you to Grump Whalebot hahaha

Wow! interesting that you tried eskrima that is a very lethal martial art and I tried it for a month and gave it up haha.

Yeah sitting in the back of a truck in the sweltering heat is hard. Really makes you question your commitment to the cause but when you see the kids, you know why.

Great job you guys did out there Mav! Yeah speaking of whales, we have whalesharks here in Oslob.. you guys might wanna come and visit our place Mav and Raj! 😀

Sure and I'll bring the Ohana girls to entertain you hahha

You know i can never say no to that! Haha 😀
