Today I had to say goodbye to the other volunteers. At lunchtime my family had to leave the meeting. That was the first thing that was very sad, because we don’t know when we’ll see each other again. I’ll meet some of them at the autumn meeting, so hopefully the […]
Because I didn’t do the workshops, I did all the other activities. So in the morning we had almost two hours of training and sports, which was so exhausting that sometimes it felt like a punishment, but it was fun. In the evening the guest from YFU Mexico taught us […]
