campers and 'copters

Abby and I just finished four days at Zarepta. I was a counselor with a room of eight 15 to17-year-olds, whose respect was fought for and won on the ping-pong table. Abby worked in the kitchen for over 10 hours each day. There were only a few people there who spoke English, so it was a bit exhausting. Overall, though, it was an important time of connecting with people as we begin our time here.

On Wednesday I got the chance to assist Sunva Lassen, a Faroese photographer who just got back from studying at Brooks Institute, on an assignment for Atlantic Review, an in-flight magazine. We took a helicopter to Koltur, a small island inhabited only by a couple who raise Scottish Highland Cattle.
