I hereby from Charleston, South Carolina by the UCC meeting. All long-term volunteers will meet here five days to experience and impressions from the various project sites exchange. We are here 26 volunteers, including our ten German volunteers, a volunteer from France, Hungary and Canada and the rest comes from the U.S.. The people here are also on the age total geschmischt, Ed from the USA for example, is determined to have the 70 years old.
We live on Islands of Palms by the sea in a big house. The beach is really beautiful and it is almost swimming weather. We need about 50 meters to the beach. Otherwise, of course, makes Islands of Palms its name: There are palm trees in abundance.
the seminar will be headed by Mary Schaller Blaufuß the volunteer coordinator of the UCC, with whom I had all my service before much contact and also the whole has regulated things with the visa etc..
addition to several phases of work but we have replaced a lot of time to Relex, relax and. The projects are really varied from the others, the help of project sites in New Orleans tornado victims, to disability projects in Missouri. The positions are located throughout the United States.
This morning I was with Cornelius, who is also from Aachen and worked in Philadelphia to see the sunrise on the beach. On the east coasts of the earth the sun is always directly above the sea. (On the North Sea in Holland is not so!). That was very nice. This afternoon we drove to Fort Sumter. The Fort Sumter is located on a small Island off Charleston in the Atlantic and was the fort where the Civil War (civil war) is then broken out in America. This time the first shot between Confederate and Union fell. That was really interesting.
The island is accessible only by boat. On the boat ride, we have seen quite a lot of dolphins among others. But as I unfortunately had my transfer cable in Arkansas leave, I can tell you the photos I've made, put off until the weekend here on the blog.
