Volunteering on Phi Phi

We headed off to Phi Phi island for a couple days to work with HI Phi Phi (help international).

Phi Phi island is an amazing place that was devistated by the tsunami. The way the island is layed out it has this amazing strech of land that is surrounded by beach on both ends and it got two sets of waves that came through from both ends that completely demolished everything in the middle.

We took a boat out from Phuket to get there. It takes a couple hours and the boat ride there was great. The boat ride back was not great at all.

We arrived and signed up with Hi Phi Phi and began work on one of thier projects. because both waves came through it destoyed almost all the vegitation in the area. we worked with a group to help clean up the beaches and help plant a garden.

the experience was great. the people we met and worked with were awesome. We are planning to come back here and spend a majority of our time if we can. This is a great place that needs a lot of help. Thankfully they are getting a lot of volunteers from all over showing up to help.

see some of the pictures below. I'll add more soon.
