Vertu Veraldarvinur - Promotional video
Dear Friends from all over the world!
We have the pleasure to present you the new WorldWideFriends promotional video. Early back in September, a group of six volunteers, lead by Enrique Pacheco (our media coordinator),came to Iceland in order to create this video. It shows the current situation, which has been developing with the work of thousands of volunteers, taking part in our workcamps.
Without further ado, here it is!!! http://www.wf.is/?p=8&s=2&d=35

We will like to take the oportunity to thank to Maritza, Alexia, Max and specially to Taru for all the hours spent on this video!!!
