Click on the picture to read the list of things Galina sent us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Galina, one of the volunteers to our work camps recently wrote back to us, reminiscing about her experiences. She also sent us a ‘friendship map’, traditional Russian sweets and candies, inviting us to visit her in Russia. Thank you Galina! You are always welcome back!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

My name is Galina, I took part in [an] FSL project in Kerala in January 2013. It was my sixth international voluntary experience and I want to say: it was THE BEST project I ever participated [in]!<\/p>\n

I want to thank FSL for [the] opportunity to live in [an] amazing place in Kerala, to meet very nice people from India and other countries, to know more about Ayurveda and to discover the world of yoga.<\/p>\n

We had the BEST camp lead[ing] team: Rahul and Vinoth! They were always available for us and [were] ready to help any time, with any questions. Thanks to them, our days were well planned and had a good \u2018balance\u2019 between work and free time, very delicious food and interesting cultural programmes. Thanks to [the] participation of coordinator Pratap in out camp, I knew more about FSL and [the] opportunities [it provides] for volunteers and decide[d] to continue my communication with FSL in the future.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great criteria of organizational philosophy: if [the] chief coordinator takes part in routine camp life (work together, have evening programmes and some activities with us etc.) it means that every volunteer is important for [the] organization and we could feel [this] through relations, mood and activities; it also means that organization wants not just [to] do projects, but do it with love and in the best way!<\/p>\n

The main organizational features I want to point out are flexibility and strong willing[ness] to improve itself. You listen [to] your volunteers, their fears, desires and suggestions, and try to solve all problems and to accept all useful suggestions. And it helps to support [the] high level of your activity and to find out actual problems and solve [them].<\/p>\n

Thank you for your great job\u2026<\/p>\n
