Höfn - workcamp no. 1

Hi,

I am now in Höfn a beautiful, fishing village in the east part of Iceland.

This is the first of the workcamps I will be leading and it is also part of our trainning as EVS volunteers at Seeds. Therefore the group of volunteers is quite unusual: 6 EVS volunteers and 2 short term volunteers. The EVS volunteers (like me) staz for 6 months in Iceland and coordinate the workcamps where short term volunteers take part. The short term volunteers for this workcamp are from England and South Korea.

We are working in a peninsula which was a former IIWW airport controlled by the british and the american. To get there we need to take a boat for around 5 minutes, it is pretty near.

The work mainly consists in cleaning up the coast line, setting a walking path and fixing some stuff in the base of the airport but beyond that we also have to paint signs to mark the runway, plant grass and probably other tasks we dont know yet.

I have uploaded some pictures of this last week and will for sure write more about what we have been doing here, about our hosts, our activities and our freetime activities with the local community.

Kisses,
