Hi guys,
Today I'm going to write about our
preparations for LNT camp. One of the most interesting endeavours was
cleaning the ecological pond. We had to get rid of the Invasive Alien
Species. I think that photos are going to tell better story than I
possibly can. For the cleaning itself we adopted Snail's "knowhow" from last year. Trick was to "roll" IAS. While trying to roll we
had to make sure that we were getting rid of all the roots too. It was
actually a really hard work. I started with white T-shirt, came back in
black one. And I still think that the shower afterwards was the
hardest part, thats how dirty we were. Even though it was hard, it
was still glorious and I can definitely understand why people pay for
the option of doing this kind of work. Especially for people from the
city, it really is an awesome chance to connect with the nature (not
to mention doing a good deed). When we were done, the endemic species
in the ecological pond had a lot more spaces to grow and it also looked nicer (at least in my opinion) for both
visitors and kids from LNT camp to enjoy:)
After that we had to work in the
library, where we rearranged the books and “added“ call numbers
to each book, so it's easier to keep track of the books. We cleaned
all the backpacks (every students are going to get one backpack and
learn how to effectively pick necessities and get them into the
backpacks. We rearranged classrooms and Taiwanese interns worked on a
drama for kids. The drama was a collection of scenes, each of them
adressed one LNT rule. Erik, Wei and Maggie broke all the rules and
showed, why it was wrong to break them. Flora and I took part in two
of the scenes, playing fitting part of visitors. It was incredibly
fun, and I think that kids would enjoy it too.
LNT camp report coming soon :)
See you guys,
Sam
