FSL-India’s work camp WC-827 was held for 2 weeks, starting from 21^st January 2019 and ending with the final evaluation on 3^rd February 2019. The theme was Sustainable Agriculture/ Culture/ Environment.

The team consisted of Andrea Granata from Italy, Seoyeon Kim and Jeon Hui Yeon from South Korea. The team followed the work camp schedule for 2 weeks, and made the camp successful.

First of all, we went to schools for mural painting, helping in teaching Basic English, wall painting, bag gardening at the school and other different activities. We also had the opportunity to take a bit part in Sea Turtle Conservation, a topic particularly close to my heart. So, we enjoyed ourselves, especially in the Tent school.

Moreover, we took part in the activities regarding agriculture, such as sowing, digging and so on. It was sometimes hard work, but fun.

Finally, we visited some temples, by which I could know more about Indian culture, and Indian families/workers. It was very interesting to speak with them and see their work, especially the plastic recycling factory.

We improved our social skills, by meeting children and people with different backgrounds, acquired more knowledge about sustainable agriculture, thanks to Manjesh’s explanations, and learned about India, i.e. food, customs and traditions.

In addition, I also knew the other volunteers and FSL-staff. They made me feel comfortable every time, so they all are very nice people, and I’m very happy to have met them.

All of people I have met here were so kind, and I have learned lot from their actions. The experience of volunteering here seems to be a great strength in my life.

Every single activity here is going to be an unforgettable memory. Thank you so much for your consideration for 2 weeks. Thank you, FSL-India and Team.
