The Journalism team presented their articles which are worth reading.

At 6 pm, some volunteers left for Burgas to spend the weekend.

The volunteers at the house went for a rock concert at the Hope live club in the city center. It was a Nirvana tribute concert. The band “Appreciation” rocked the night and we really enjoyed the concert.

We discussed the whole event, especially about our horse riding with Tracian spirit at the village of Goliamo Driaonovo. We planned to have a barbecue and stay the night there. After the office meeting all of the teams came home and started working on their group projects.

At the house, the workshop and cooking team made a handbag from an old T-shirt as part of the workshop. Carlos from the cooking and workshop team made Pisto and rice with coconut milk. The film making team shot for their movie in the road near the house and picked some cherries!

Wednesday 08/07

In the morning, all of us continued doing our group work. Kati from the workshop and cooking team made some bracelets with an old t-shirt for the workshop. Isn’t it amazing that we can make so many useful things from old things that we do not need anymore?! The film making team and cooking team kept editing their videos throughout the day while the journalist team worked on their articles. It was a busy working day for us as we have to present our works tomorrow instead of Friday!
