Hey Guys, I have now arrived back in Rwanda. In a 4 week project we are hoping to:

1. Reconstruct one full soccer field.
2. Distribute much needed equipment to soccer based organizations doing work in Rwanda.
3. Run a week long soccer camp for the children of the Rebero Orphanage.

The trip has been incredible so far. The soccer camp has just begun, and let me tell you, running a soccer camp in the heart of Kigali draws a lot of attention.  I think film will paint a better picture, so stay tunned for a video.  Here are a few pics in the mean time:

HELPING AFRICA:

A lot of you have been emailing us your lists as of late and ‘Aiding Africa’ has topped a lot of them.  If you’re really interested in making a difference in Africa, Zimbabwe is on the verge of something terrible and needs your help.  On The Genocide Report by Amnesty International, Zimbabwe is currently at Level 7.

Yo!

Just got an email from Rich in Scotland who crossed off an item on his list with a few friends: Hitchhike down to London and back for charity… in one weekend.

Congrats fellas, lovin’ it!

Send us your lists and accomplishments to crew@theburiedlife.com or post them on the TBL network and share it with the world.

Duncan jumped off a bridge last week. Check it out.

everyone say hi to nick

This is Nick. He’s from Trinidad. We met at school a few years ago. He’s dreamed about hitting the road with no plan and no map for his entire life. Last month, he decided to do it.

wow

Pictures arrived this morning from his adventures. They reminded me how beautiful this continent really is (we’re in North America, for the record). He’s going to keep us in the loop with his travels and recommends that everyone check out Bonnaroo or another major music festival at least once in their life.

We do our best to reply to all of the emails sent to us but sometimes its hard to get every single one. This one came in May 5th and slipped through the cracks, I’m glad we caught it..

I was sitting in my Economics class, when my teacher whipped out a magazine with The Buried Life on the cover. With this weird smiled glued on his face, he asked us casually ” What do you guys want to do before you die”. Me being the class clown replied

Hey hey folks. So as some of you may know #20 on our list is to have a song we’ve written play on the radio - no easy task I assure you. To make this happen I’ve been hard at work the last couple months making some electro-pop music with an old friend. The result, as you can see above, is an EP entitled ‘Concerning the Number 7 And Your Love.’ We just released it today!

Hey Guys,

I just came home from an outstanding trip to Nicaragua where I was working on #92: Learn to Surf (here’s how I got there). I was truly searching for the perfect wave and it wasn’t easy. Somehow I made it though, so I thought I’d put together an easy to follow step-by-step guide so that you can find the perfect wave too. Here’s a photo journal of what it took.

Step 1: Cab (p.s. it’s difficult to ask for a Spanish/English Dictionary without a Spanish/English Dictionary… probably not worth trying)

Step 2: Car (typical Nicaraguan road)
