Mrs. Candy Burns and Mrs. Malena Jauregui are showing the students how to make fruit
drink. The food, (dehydrated meals) came down the canyon on horseback.
The students are hungry. Nothing like swimming for 2 hours to work up an
appetite. Some students suspect that there might yet be a Seven Eleven store
near here but sooner or later they will realize the truth. The only food down
here is what we brought with us, and it's all dehydrated, even the milk.
The nearest store is 2 miles back in the village of Supai. The food is healthy, a nutritionist
helped plan the meals.

These students are working on their workbooks. Each day they must complete the
section in the workbook for that day. They are reminded of this often
(so they don't leave it all til the end). Their teachers will review all this work
when they return to normal classes. We check the workbooks to insure the work is
kept current. We bring down the table cloths you see here to make it easier to clean
the tables. Mrs. Malena Jauregui and other adults help the students understand
the questions in the workbook.

A lecture is given to all the students by the Kennedy teachers the second day we are at Havasu
campground. The subject is the geology of this canyon including a history of the
people who inhabit this land. They also clarify the information they read in their
workbooks. Mr. Ryan Knapp is giving part of the lecture here, and the students take
notes.

These students have been shown how to wash dishes by mrs. Lupita Montijo (background) and are
now doing it. There are 3 jobs here, 1. Cook asistant, 2. Water getter, 3.
Clean up. All the students get to do all three jobs in a rotating
system. Each student cleans their own eating utinsils, the clean up crew cleans
the cooking pots etc. and their own stuff. Water getters fill 1 gal containers with
potable water from a spring near by. The water spouts from a pipe nailed directly
into the side of the ckiff. The students and all other campers get their water
from the pipe by placing a container under the flow. Sometimes there is a line to
get water. Once a student asked us if he had done something wrong and was being
punished. He had never been asked to wash his own dishes.
