Greetings May - Sofia (Italy)

This month has started in a very sweet way with wonderful strawberries! In the first days flowers were amazingly growing and after a week or so fruits were already ready to be picked and of course eaten! Believe me when I say I never had more tasteful strawberries then in here! 
The team got bigger with two new vwoofers from Estonia and their gardening knowledge, their kindness and funny sense of humor gave to our group a wonderful sparkle! 
A very nice and hot weather was with us most of the time so I was able to have my first hikes in Slovenia, discovering new natural places and I enjoying them with the beautiful volunteers I met in Maribor. 
I had also the pleasure to meet people from Slovenska Filantropija participating to a project that aimed to not forget and to increase awareness around the Holocaust, so we were filling the old bunkers used during the 2nd World War in Maribor with 6 millions paper boats made by children from the schools all over Slovenia.
I took part to some workshops organised by and with volunteers from Pekarna (about poetry and stop motion animation) with which I was able to experiment and find once again my creativity part. 
My project felt even more real when my parents and some friends went visiting the farm so I got to show them where I was living, working and having fun.
To celebrate the warmth and happiness of this month, my monthly report became a drawing.

See you next month!
