Volunteer Blogging at La Giraudiere

Tuesday 24th June was my first day of volunteer work at La Giraudiere!

Part of my role here is to assist with blog posts (like this one), work with Twitter, Facebook and Google+, and help to create a social media marketing plan for the future.

On Tuesday morning work began at 9am, and I was introduced to La Giraudiere’s existing social media set up, created by Paul and previous volunteers. Once I’d sussed out the French keyboard layout, and changed it to the English language keyboard setting, I was all set to begin writing my first blog post – which you may already have read on Wednesday 25th June.

In my posts so far I’ve been writing about my first few days at La Giraudiere, starting right at the very beginning with my arrival. If you haven’t read them yet, skip back a few posts.

Hopefully you will find my blog entries interesting as you read about the experiences of myself and other volunteers. We’ll also bring you news of what’s happening in the area – such as events and activities we’re involved in.

La Giraudiere is a great place to volunteer in France.

On the blog, and other social media pages, you’ll meet all the new arrivals, see some of the latest pictures, and find out much more about what volunteering in France really involves.

PS. Can you believe I’ve been volunteering at La Giraudiere for two weeks now! Time has flown since my first day here. I leave for La Rochelle on Friday 11th July, and with only one week left I’m going to make the most of the rest of my stay. Including a trip to Bordeaux on Saturday.
