New Volunteers arrived for 2009-2010

We offer a warm welcome to Christopher and Alex, who arrived on 7th August to begin their time here as volunteers for one year. they have settled into the cottage flat and are already feeling at home. Our last two volunteers - Feliz and Erhard - ahve both returned home. Erhard went with friends to Italy for a short break before starting his studies in English and Sport at the University. Felix decided to go on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and he walked around 400 kilometres. when he arrived at the Basilica, it is customary to "hug" the statue of St James, the apostle. He hugged it twice - once for the first time when he didn't know that you do this and a second time for his present-day pilgrimage. Felix will soon be starting at the University of Trier, stydying geography. We wish Felix and Erhard a good start and a new beginning and our two new volunteers that they feel completely at home and find good friends.
