The week started really active.
In the morning, Paul, Tamara and Clémence played music for a children camp. It was their first day. They didn't know each other. Clémence and Tamara created a workshop with one group of children. They talked about their countries, played some games with them. The children were really happy, Tamara and Clémence were really surprised how much they knew about France and Italy.

After this, all of us prepared the football tournament. It was a great day, with  great weather. You can read more details about it in the article.

The days after we finish the garden with some children. We planted mint, lavender, tarragon, sage and basil. We are looking forward to see all of this growing during the summer. Also, we want to show a movie outside. So for this we build a a structure to support a screen.

Then built a bowling game. We painted some plastic bottles. It's a great game during the summer to play outside.
