Reflections on Community Service

Service Project Anegada Methodist Church

In keeping with our long standing relationship with the Anegada Methodist Church the girls will once again work with the Church for their service project. The girls headed to shore at 8am this morning and headed into the Settlement on Anegada and met up with Romalia Smith, the minister of the church. We helped Romalia clean up the church yard, playground, and school yard.  We picked a good day to do the service project, we could see squalls blowing through the lower BVI all day. We focused on the area inside the new fence that had been painted by a previous SAIL II BVI service project on Anegada. Romalia's grand children played a steel drum concert for us during one of the squalls throughout the day. The girls were happy to help her and give back to the community that has been so receiving of them on their visit to the British Virgin Islands. The girls were also able to see how the people of Anegada live in the Settlement, a sharp contrast from their own lives. After our service project we headed to the East End of Anegada to get some ice cream at Loblolly Bay as the squalls finally made their way northward to Anegada. After the rain cleared we grilled hot dogs and burgers off the back of the boats in the Mooring field and prepared for a big day of sailing tomorrow.
