Many thanks to Best Western Sovereign Hotel in Albany for providing the team with a wonderful nights accomodation!

A big thank you to Warren, Vince and the team at Aamco Transmissions for helping to keep us on the road!!

Jose looking a little apprehensive about the Big Moose he is about to encounter..

Now that is a scary sight for anyone, especially a young boy from Guatemala!!

Our first stop for the day was the North Albany YMCA.

Bansidhar taught the kids some Hawaiian dancing!

Now thats peace...

Thank you so much to Cycilie Graham, the Camp Director, for facilitating our visit.

We offered our certificate of appreciation to the YMCA.

Our next stop was the YMCA camp in Troy. Guess what country Ashirvad is from, they are very good at football..

Everyone loves to run with the torch..These kids left Ashirvad in the dust!

Vermont is a beautiful place!!

We ran into Bennington, Vermont, and were delighted to be welcomed by town officials and children from the Recreation Centre outside the Town Offices.

Mike Harrington, the Community Development Director, gave us a very enthusiastic welcome.

The kids all made us a hand painted welcome sign, awesome!!

Thanks alot to our local coordinator, Akankha, (back row, 2nd from left), for organising the event, and also driving 1 1/2 hours to meet us!

Our good friends Arun and Julie very generously let the whole team stay at their beautiful home in Shatsbury, we took over the whole house!!

We were very happy to meet Heather and her two children Zoe and Desmond, who live upstairs and take care of the house when Arun and Julie are away.

Zoe and Desmond are now part of the team!

To be on the team Desmond may have to give up some of his slightly less peace inducing past-times..

As the sun was going down we all came out for a photo, including Heather, Zoe and Desmond.

Arun and Julie not only hosted us at their house, but also shouted the team to dinner at a local pizza restaurant, thank you so much!!

While waiting for our dinner we watched some Olympics on TV, which inspired us to play some table sport. This is New Zealand versus Ukraine, guess who won...;)
