One month with John, short term EVS volunteer in Greece: Third Week.

Discover the 3rd week of John, who did an European Voluntary Service in Greece for one month in the mountain village of Krioneri in the Korinthos district. The volunteering involved working in the forest on a footpath, working in an English school helping students with their English. He also spent one week doing an arts project in the village Kindergarten with the local children.



On the 3rd week we continued as usual working on the environmental footpath, helping in the English school and taking Greek lessons. Also discussed with Kindergarten teacher about possible ideas for a mural on the school walls but doubtful about this as I’ve not yet been given the art materials I asked for from the mentors. On the Saturday someone from the village drove us to the supermarket in the city, then to a friends house for food, this was a welcome escape from Krioneri. On the Sunday some locals kids took me for a bicycle ride up the mountains to a nuns monastery, the views up there was great.
