CULTURE AND RENOVATION
Dear friends, as u probably know WF is developing for the first time lot of projects in winter with very positive outcomes. Since the last 2 weeks a group of three volunteers from Belgium, Germany and Korea together with Antonio has been working in our first culture and renovation camp. We are very happy with their contribution and we will like to thank them for the big effort and for the enormous motivation on helping us in this new WF dream of having a cultural centre downtown Reykjavik. Within the next 6 months we will have many more camps on renovation and within the next 6 months probably WF will open the first international cultural centre in Reykjavik made by the hands of hundred of ALLIANCE volunteers. So thank u guys! It has been amazing to have u here and thank u to ALLIANCE for the great cooperation we had develop in the last years.

One of our tasks is to prepare coffee and cakes for the homeless people and we will also visit some of the elderly people and help them to decorate their homes .
We will have percussion workshop with our social and artistical project manager Antonio Perez and perfom in the streets and also in some community places. We will also participate in different types of activites in the centre of Reykjavik but this time is full of live in the city.
