Worcamp's highlight







Yesterday morning we prepared it all for the Cultural Night : we built benches, tables, the stage, we made some decoration for the stage (blue pieces of clothes all around) and made sure all will be perfect for the evening ! Carina finished the camp sign : the Åland flag decorates the building's wall now.




When we came back after one free afternoon, we prepared in small groups the sandwiches, coffee, tea, cakes, hotdogs that would be sold by Emmaüs.






At 6 pm, the music program started with young and different groups : some guitar, a rock girls band, some more traditionnal music, country music. Most of these people are starting their career on this stage !






Lots of people were arriving, in a very good mood, and at 9 pm, when the Fashion Show started, it was crowded and very busy ! The Show consisted on ten numbers and we the volunteers, Emmaüs' friends and workers, Britt-Marie, the EVS Miquel from the Peace Institute, etc, were playing the models. Carina was explaining about Emmaüs and discribing the Show while we were walking graciously on the stage.






Immediately after the Show, people began to run to the changing room to buy the clothes !!






Later, the Cultural Night was finished and we had to remove the benches, tables, the stage, etc. But as we are so many and dynamic people, it all went very quick and well.






Then, as we couldn't seen him the next day, we had to say goodbye to Mate... How sad ! He was very pleased about us and our work with him. During that time, we all shared some beer that we deserved completely.



That long day had been heavy but beautiful !
