Outreach to poor village - hot and chilly

The past day I participated in a "health brigade". It was a kind of outreach of a Christian team to a poor village. The team helped the village with medicine, constructing simple toilets, reconcilation, teaching for kids and just sharing the gospel of Jesus. I was filming the activities.

The climate was very hot and I was sweating gallons and trying to keep drinking. In the night I slept in a hammock like most of the rest of the 50-people team.

To get to the village, not too far from the Carribean coast of Colombia, I traveled in one of the buses offered by national companies. One thing I have noted about these buses, is that they use air condition on, let me say, full level. I think each time I travel with them, I say to myself, "next time I'll bring more clothes". So this time I brought two hood sweaters. Do you think it was enough? No, almost everybody else had a blanket as well. I didn't, and was freezing.

The woman at my side complained to the bus staff who just responded he would not change anything (I don't know if it was possible, maybe there is just on an off and he preferred not to switch on and off?) I think we had about 12 degrees Celsius in the bus.

When I arrived, I took out my video equipment from my bags which I had in the bus cabin, and touched the camera. It was cold like it was just taken out of the freezer. I had to defog it for half an hour.
Anyway, why all long-distance bus companies in Colombia want to cool down passengers almost to a rigor mortis level, remains an enigma.
