Manjesh\nput my doubts to rest and the video about the Training Centre on the FSL-India\nsite was inviting. I\u2019m glad I came, made that trip that was at the back of my\nmind for sometime. Spent 5 days here, lived on a farm and met friendly people\nworking for nature and on other welfare projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG-20190423-WA0013-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15817\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My work camp started with filtering the compost along with\nLinda and other German volunteers. I enjoyed loading the compost and filtering\nit through the sieve as I love to work with compost. We got fine compost and I\nsweated like I was in a sauna. It took a day to adjust to the heat here, and\nwas much better after that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG-20190423-WA0007-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15815\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoyed working in the kitchen garden, mulching, making\nbasins for seeds, mixing the compost and watering the plants. Working on an\nactual farm for someone like me, who has always dreamt of it \u2013 was a golden\nopportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Coming across FSL-India was valuable knowledge, as it provides opportunities to get involved in alternate areas of learning and working. The Training Centre comes with accommodation and food, which make it a convenient place of work. The food was tasty, cooked by a team of ever-smiling women &#8211; Parvati, Sushila, Geeta, Sujatha. \u00a0I will definitely miss the 11 o\u2019clock juice break, as a new juice was served each day.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG-20190420-WA0043-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15812\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I would love to come here again and be a part of other\nprojects.
