Kemlyn's Progress

I was in Mexico City for a while, had some (quite boring) security work doing nights in an office complex - low risk, moderate pay (for Mexico).

I was going stale,and the only other option was potentially pretty hairy work (the job of a security guard in Mexico City is far different to Oxford(!)-check out the level of robberies, murders, kidnapping etc., on the internet (gasp!).

So,I decided to fly to Venezuela,for a bit of a change. I haven't got any paid work as yet, but I've managed to hook up with a charity that helps indigenous people that have been/are being displaced by the the mining companies etc., or have made the age old bid to find the 'cities paved with gold'.

This is pretty cool and rewarding (a bit like the Gatehouse, except on the edge of a jungle with more people wearing feathers and with sticks through their noses!).

I've towed the party line a bit . . . the strong religious bent is another difference from the proceedings at the Gatehouse.

In reality, I'm pretty much non-partisan - but I believe in the TEACHINGS of Jesucristo (but not his divinity) and in helping the 'little man' - so a Catholic-Socialist Englishman is to all appearences a more useful and integrated specimen (and a novelty).
