The first week passed so quickly. Our group is very special. We have 3 Koreans, 3 Canad<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">ians, 2 French and me the Dutchman. Everybody is very friendly and the atmosphere is super.\u00a0Our FSL India leaders are Mr. Dinesh and Mr. Prinson. They are very funny\u00a0and top leaders! Our accommodation is nice too or even better. We are staying in a fitness and swimming pool center. Great! Of course we jumped in the water ourselves! We have nice beds and the food although not always on tim<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">e, is very good too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">And then of course our work &#8211; we are working in an orphanage &#8211; Baby Sarah&#8217;s Home. Here 60 children who are mentally and phy<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">sically disabled and 50 normal children are living. We play with them and we try to teach them small things such as the alphabet and counting from 1 to 10. We also work in the outside. There we prepare new banana garden. We already made the fence, which is almost finished and we cleaned everything. Next we will start with planting the trees. We also work in a small school next of the orphanage. We are making funny drawings on the walls. Mylene and I are busy with making a new brochure for the center. This is a nice s<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">mall job to do. On 23<sup>rd<\/sup> January after singing with the children, we did a presentation about our work. Together with a first aid lesson by Mylene and Laurence we made a presentation for a group of 120 girls who were there as a guests. They are learning to become teachers. It was a very good afternoon again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">And meanwhile we are having so much fun. We went to a party of the neighbours, where all the girls could wear a real Sarree! They looked very beautiful. We had a great meal there too.\u00a0We visited the city of course and we went to Auroville and fell very special about it. We are doing a lot of funny play&#8217;s here and of course we had our\u00a0country presentations. Everybody loved my Stroopwafels a typical Dutch Cooky. Indeed I am enjoying a super camp organised by FSL India.\u00a0I&#8217;m already sad this camp will end\u00a0on Saturday. Then I will write you all again to tell my last experiences. Now I will go back and\u00a0have a nice meal again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: right; line-height: normal;\" align=\"right\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\"> <\/span><strong><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">Karel van den Berg<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: right; line-height: normal;\" align=\"right\"><strong><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\">FSL India Volunteer from Netherlands<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a new story about my Work camp right now.
