We had 3 volunteers leave over the weekend, and we’ve had 5 new volunteers since then – 1 from Switzerland, 1 from Spain, and 3 from Australia. Its cool having a mix of people here now from all over. There are now 9 volunteers at the camp. Its nice having people around to chat to and we all eat together. After the projects, the staff here organise activities for us to do in the evening. Today we started learning a Goan folk dance which we will perform at a festival next week. Apart from that, there is a cooking workshop once a week, trips to the beach twice a week, language classes start up this week, and there is also a weekly saree workshop. All the other volunteers are away from home for shorter periods. They’re here in Goa for between 2-8 weeks, and then head back home afterwards whereas I’ll be away for 6 months!
