Last time, I forgot to say what was our tasks. Actually, one of the most important thing is 'working' in workcamp!
Bellerive-sur-allier is a small town just next to Vichy. It's not like a countryside, but the population is just around 8,000. The cityhall of this town has invited a workcamp every year for 8 years. I was very impressive that the goverment has been interested in volunteering for a long time and supported it continuously. Because I thought volunteering would be a good way to do a public work, but it's not that effective way on economical side.
Besides, neighbors have already enough comprehension about the workcamp. I guess they get used to welcome it in every summer, so they were very friendly and supportive to us.
Look at these hard workers! :P The city hall asked us to renovate several old public parks. So we changed old benches and trash bins, and even blocks on the path! It's not harder than we expeted, we really enjoyed workig outside. Digging grounds, moving stones, painting new trash bins, and even making ciment... we worked like a professional! :)
