Bring work clothes and hiking boots. Nights can be chilly, so bring warm clothes, a pillowcase and a pillow. Bring rain gear (fleece, raincoat, etc.). Don't forget your sun protection (hat, sunglasses, cream, etc.), a water bottle and bathing suit for swimming in rivers and streams.
There will be plenty of time for socializing, especially with the village elders. If you'd like to share a little of your culture (music, songs, recipes, unusual objects...), don't hesitate to bring along a little piece of your country or region, children's books, a Bluetooth speaker or a musical instrument to show off your favorite playlist!
The internet connection is very weak, so you'll be immersed in nature. There's no launderette nearby, so laundry will mainly be done by hand.
The last day of the workcamp (18/07) is devoted to departure in the morning.
