Scottish volunteer helps clear French jungle
19-year-old Kirsty Harper from Scotland decided to spend her summer holiday volunteering at La Giraudiere in France for six weeks.
Kirsty arrived from her home town of Bridge of Weir, just west of Glasgow, in late July, and stayed until the begining of September. She tried her hand at everything that LG offers its volunteers. She started with cleaning but decided it wasn’t for her; she then dabbled a bit in IT – again, this just wasn’t Kirsty. After several other projects she finally found her calling when she was asked to join the jungle clearing team. Perhaps it was her Duke of Edinburgh experience that attracted her to this intrepid endeavour.
She also helped put together the Saturday Night Fever event on the 5th Setember. As well as setting the stage for the evening she helped to run the bar with Tibor.
We’re extremely grateful to Kirsty for all the help she’s given us, and we hope to see her again soon!
From Paul thank you for the card and the chocolate and take great care.
