(any kind of) Music day

Yesterday was a kitchen day for both Felix and me, picture here proofs it ! We got loads of fruits from the supermarket, which gave us the idea of making some fruit salad in the evening. Actually the bowl didn't last long !! Emmaüs volunteers were really starving after one more day working.

By the way, what about yesterday's tasks ?

There was some more painting outside on the doors, and also on the sign for the Peace Park ; Carina had to paint some letters very carefully on it and she did very well !

A path made of tiles to the entrance of the Peace Park was built. And of course the usual sorting and baling had to be done, the endless Emmaüs work everybody knows so well now ! It's really amazing how fast the amount of given bags and boxes grows again after having been weighed and sorted a whole day... And all this is brought by the people from here, Mariehamn area, that's one of the things I was wondering about before coming : how come can an Emmaüs send containers to other countries and have a shop too, if located on an island with a small amount of inhabitants ? But, yes, it is so and it works very well ! I like being surprised that way !

But back to yesterday, we had several events and the first is where the music day starts :

- A lunch concert in the church St Görans (next to Uncan), it was part of the "Katrina chamber music festival". We could listen to clarinett, piano and viola. It made us a bit sleepy, because we were getting hungry I reckon, but it was very nice.

- After dinner, we had a visit at Uncan : Justina, from the Peace Institute and Emmaüs. She's Lithuanian and came to explain us about the social projects in Lithuania, helped by Emmaüs and the Peace Institute. These projects are refering to single-mothers, children, families with social difficulties in Lithuania, Kaliningrad and Belarussia. She told us about sexual slavery as well, and the Missing Persons' Families Support Center in Vilnius, the girls' groups (in order to prevent girls to be sold as prostitutes), and what is done to help the women who escape and come back after. That was very interesting and tough. I'm looking forward to visiting the Peace Institute next week.

- And finally, to end that day, the main part of our group went to another concert in a pub, but not exactly the same kind as earlier... power metal hardcore rock noise punk music ? (Choose what it sounded the most to you) Unfortunately we don't have pictures of it, but Sebus can perform the music players very well !

That's it for today and in part from the mosquitos' bites, everything's all right !
