Location: Road Town
Everyone got up really quickly today and we were ready to go. We sailed across the water to Road Town. It didn't take very long. We went to the VISAR headquarters and learned all about what they do to help people. Sadly, we learned that less than half of the people that they save actually donate to VISAR. Since VISAR is not given money from the government because it's a volunteer program, they have to fundraise a lot to keep it going. We helped them by painitng a storage holding bright orange, along with a few other things. We also sanded and prepared the railing for future Lifeworkers to paint. All of our work didn't seem like much, but they said they couldn't get anyone else to do it and they relied on us every year. Afterwards, we were able to have free time in Road Town. We were able to take real showers and buy food and gifts for our families back home. By the way, Happy 4th of July!
