Week 4 Volunteering @ ARCHELON 19/07-25/07

  I had my first slideshow this week! Slideshows were done all over in various campsites and hotels. The slideshows could be in Greek, English, German, French - it really depended on who the main demographic was at the slideshow venues. I had my first slideshow with Klara, our job as to run the information table. This was where we would sell our stock to those at the slideshow.

We were so lucky for our first slideshow together we were at this little village, and they gave all the children at the slideshow Super Juice and popcorn, and they gave me and Klara some too!! Best first slideshow ever. (It was after this night I got addicted to Super Juice... so good!!)

 For slideshow with children Anna, (The Public Awareness leader for camp) would give the kids colouring sheets from our colouring book that we sold and let them colour it in before the slideshow started. So cute!

 Naturally when you're camping and working 24/7 with people, you're going to become close. They become your family. You go through the tough times together, and you go through the most amazing times together. So every 2 weeks saying goodbye to those people was so so tough. The first person I felt close to was an American girl called Rocky, I love that girl. Saying goodbye to her that day was so hard, and after that I missed her company so much. It's so hard to live with someone, get used to seeing them around everyday and having someone to always chat to and then they leave and you notice them gone - its sad. I was also so sad to say goodbye to other amazing people I had met, like Donna, Ruben, Gretta, ... the list goes on...
