I got up at 10:30 a.m.. After breakfast we played some games to get to know each other. One of the things we did was to introduce our partner. The most funny group was made by Xavier and Alessio. Alessio started to introduce Xavier. " This is Xavier. She is student and she is 22 years old" Then Xavier was talking about Alessio. At first he showed the picture he made where was Alessio's ear and his earring and then he started his speech : " This is Alessio. She is student and she is 24 years old" We visited shop and old mine in Ystradgynlais in the afternoon.

Today started our working days. We had two choices where to go. You should work either on the meadow or help with community art project. I chose the second possibility as same as Katrin, Xavier, Milada and Ula. We have been drawing proposals for totems, which would be placed along the path in the nature reservation near here. Program of this evening was to visit pubs in Ystradgynlais. At first we have been in the rugby club and then we change place but I do not remember the name of the pub. The barman in this pub was polish so Ula became a friend with him.

At eight o'clock our group went to town by minibus and the rest went to the meadow. We started our today's work in the nature reservation where we tried to find suitable places for our totems. And after lunch we continued in creating our drawings for the totems. After work I started to work again. I had kitchen service with Milada. We have been cooking potato soap and pan-cakes. It was hard work and I taught that nobody would eat my potato soap. But then I was surprised that everybody liked it. After dinner we have been invited to a party with local people. We didn't know what to expected but at the end it was fun.

I had to prepare breakfast and that mean you have to weak up earlier. I hate weak up early!!! This day spent our group of social workers by helping with summer school. When we came to the gym where the summer school took place I taught I would become deaf if I stayed there more than 15 minutes. Those children there made incredible noise. Fortunately we worked in a room where we could hear nearly no noise. Our mission there was to help the children to draw what they have been recording outside. When we had nothing to do we filled our time by playing with baby twins which where really sweet. Especially Katrin showed her qualities as a mother. On the way home we tried to find a shop with postcards but we couldn't find any in the hole Ystradgynlais. Dinner was made by Daniel and Karol. It was vegetables with cheese backed in an oven and it was very delicious.

I hate mornings! Everybody worked on the meadow today. It seemed that it would be a nice day. The work on the meadow made me really hungry. When we came home to have a lunch I was so hungry that I was eating as if I haven't eaten for days. The weather in the afternoon was quiet funny. In one moment came a hard rain and in the next moment the sun was shining again. At eight o'clock came a taxi for us and we went to watch singers from Ystradgynlais preparing for a concert. It was quite good but sometimes little bit boring. When they finished we moved to the pub. We had only 20 minutes to have a beer so we had to drink quickly. We were on the place where the bus driver should pick us up on time but he was 15 minutes late!!! So we shouldn't have been stressed.

Today was the last day of our group of social workers because the summer school for children ended. Program of the last day was a carnival. When we came to the gym everybody was dressed in a costume. Some children were really sweet. At first there was a competition for the best masks and when they finished disco began. Some girls were dancing very good but boys didn't seem to be interested. They've been destroying everything they found. At the lunchtime started the barbecue. Every child received sausages, hamburger and fish. For us it looked bit disgusting and poor Katrin seemed to feel sick form it. We came home little bit late because Tim picked us up half an hour later. Alessio and Xavier cooked the dinner. They prepared spaghetti and it was fucking good !!!! Program for the evening was to visit music festival in the town near Ystradgynlais. Fires pub we visited was a bit crowded and nearly every girl there was dressed "very strange" (they looked like prostitutes). In the second pub was life concert and it was outside so there was enough space. The last place we visited was the best - not very many people and good life music.

Miguel came in the morning with the minibus and we started our journey to Cardiff. On the way we have visited museum of Welsh history. We came to Cardiff at two o'clock. We have started our city tour in the Welsh National Museum. They had there very nice exhibition of paintings but we didn't have enough time to see it all because they close there at five o'clock. Then we visited shops in the centre but it closed very early so we return to the volunteers centre. They prepared for us a party. At first we had something to eat and then the party started. First band who played there was good and lot of people started to dance. At the bar we should buy a beer and you have a choice from beers made all around the world. I tried beer from Africa and China. At about 9 o'clock p.m. a new band came. But they were not as good as the first one and some workcamps left the party and went home. Our group stayed till we were the last ones in the house because Daniel was talking and talking and talking with someone. And because of him we came late to the place where we should have slept and it seemed that we would spent night in the disgusting rock club. Fortunately Miguel was so kind and let us sleep in his house. Thank you Miguel!!! But it didn't help me much because next to me slept Katrin who snored whole night. Thank you Katrin!!!
