It's been a while...

It has been a while since our last blog. We have been busy, I guess!

It has been very busy time since our week away around week 7. There's too much to talk about!

As we had completed most of the fieldwork in the first half of the placement, most of the last month-and-a-half have been spent working in the Ocean Stars Lanka Office in Batticaloa, doing a number of tasks including:

• Data inputting and analysis
• Producing the Communities and Livelihoods Factfile (picture below, for more information on the study to get in touch with dan.bunter@hotmail.co.uk)
• Report writing
• Planning and being apart of the Ocean Stars July volunteer trip (trip blog can be found here)

The OST Communities Factfile, providing insight into the daily lives across all 16 pre-schools in the Eastern Province.

We hope to finish all of our project work in the next few days and very much look forward to presenting the work to trustees and those interested in Ocean Stars' wider work.

We write now as we enter our last week in Sri Lanka and we leave Batticloa this Sunday. In the next week or so we will post our personal reflections on what has been a highly enjoyable, eventful but most importantly a very productive 100 days in Sri Lanka.

Here are some pictures of us working in the office.
