Day 5 - SMUS Service links Canada & Greece

After a morning of cycling 3km through the Elia Forest to a beautiful spot on the beach, (400m from the River Neda delta),  SMUS contributed a large portion of their evening to painting the railings of the NOKY training facility to help out the club and community to get their facility back to its original state. Earlier this season the NOKY club dedicated an hour each night after training to scooping out the thick layer of silt and dirt at the bottom of the Olympic sized swimming pool. The kids of the club ages 4-14 all pitched in without one sigh of complaint...goes to show the significance and crucial importance this club and facility have within this community of Kyparissia. and  The local newspaper showed up to run a story on how these two communities became linked.
It has been a neat experience participating in aspects of the triathlon club, which is no doubt a key part of his town. The SMUS students have been given a taste of the triathlon training and has definitely added value in regards to the cultural exchange aspect of this trip. 

Next up is Temple of Apollo and the River Neda walk with waterfalls and caves.



Patrick and Cindy finished off the mural, looks fantastic!

SMUS helped to paint the railings of the facility fence to make it look sharp and new again.
