Week Two Report - Bocas Del Toro

We finished up our trip to Rio Hondo and did some sight-seeing in the Panama City area before heading up to Bocas by plane early Sunday am. We would be arriving just a couple of days after our Hosts Dale and Kim Kapsar (pictured at the left) had returned from the states.

Our team helped them get situated, began a work project at a hearby school, held a Bible Club at another nearby school and continued construction on the "Treehouse", a multipurpose building just below the Kapsar's house on the Island of Bastimentos. Check out the videos, plus in future updates, we will have some reports from this years Panama Trekkers.

One big change with this year's team was having a group that can work specifically with children. Linda, Lyndsey and Richard were perfect in that regard. During our time in Panama we had the opportunity to speak to well over 100 children from 4 different indigenous villages.

Here are a couple of videos about our activities in the Bocas Region:
