In January the InterAct club had a really big fund raiser. We raised nearly $10 000 for aids orphans in Kenya.  It was a big Turkey Dinner that we actual planned in October but hurricane Wilma hit and the dinner was canceled. We hold it three month later and it was nevertheless (who likes to eat a Thanksgiving Dinner in January) surprisingly big.

These photos were taken on Valentines Day in the Miami Metro Zoo where I and some friends went yesterday to the Envirothon. Envirothon is a contest (the teams are sponsort by different schools). The participants have to answer and solve problems about Florida's wildlife, forestry, water and ocean, ambience and soil.

It was a lot of fun and my team won so we have the possibility to present Monroe County at state level.
