Hello!
In this past year we have had two volunteers that have lived in a remote village working to rebuild a school and learn more about and connect with the rural life and people. The project, called Rural Future, is co-funded by the EU through the ESC programme.
🛠️ If you like what you see, you can apply here.
ℹ️ You can get to know the project better here.
During the Rural Future Project, we are going to cover the weekly progress through the so-called “Weekly Recaps”. Here we will give a short overview of what is going on in this little village called Mrachenik and will report on our experiences.
This last week started with Andrey and Roni preparing for Martina’s arrival. The following days, after showing Martina around Mrachenik and as the snow came down, we were busy preparing and cleaning the new volunteer house, testing its stoves and making doorstops.
We also cut wood and rearranged logs to brave the cold, conquered the “snake mission,” (finally finding the drain snake after a few days of search and rescue), and built a snow man to the sound of “…my collar blue, but my neck is red…”
During this week, we were also busy working on the school, continuing the work scraping the bathroom walls.
Thank you for following our adventures in Mrachenik!
