Today I travelled to a small village. The people who live there sold their forest to the people who own the palm oil plantations and now they don’t have enough money for food so they are learning to grow their own. They had a party in the afternoon and had lots of competitions. We won the tug-of-war! In the evening we watched a film on the village field underneath the stars.

Today I visited a local school. The children were learning about forest fires and how they destroy the homes of lots of animals, especially the orangutans. We then came back to the town on a very bumpy road and along the river on a speedboat but I didn’t see much because it rained nearly all of the way!

Today I arrived in the Maldives. I flew to the capital city which is called Malé. I will spend my first week on a boat called the ‘Black Pearl’. The boat will take me to see lots of different islands.
