Second day- Work in the field

We went with bicycle until the field where we had to work and there we painted a house, we cut the branches of the trees that hang too low, we took out the weeds with a hoe and removed the that was in an horses' trough. And when we had finished working we came back on bicycles to the sports center

First experience of the workcamp

So far we have had one morning working at the site. The day began by cycling to garden, an experience that was exciting, but also scary as most people had not ridden a bike for years! We arrived and Albert explained what tasks we would be doing - cutting branches, painting a hut, clearing out a small pool and marking out the plots.

We found out that the community will be able to use plots in the garden to grow food. It was nice to be able to have a go at all the different tasks as we swapped regularly. It was hard work and VERY hot, but fun! It was also a good way to start getting to know each other.

Everyone was keen to get started and we have already painted one hut!
