The idea is to renovate a wash house and organize some events in the site, for example on Saturday July 22th, a Fest-Noz,which is a musical and traditional dance party will be organized. Local people are very much involved in the work and the hosting of the workcamp. They are waiting for you and ready to give you a warm welcome!
