🌻 Week 2 ~ Developing

Dear diary and our dear followers 🌞,

🤩 Another great week is already behind us. And so much happened! We don't even know where to start. We finished our garden beds 🌱, planted tomatoes, salads, cucumbers, gained more knowledge from Liveloula and said goodbye to them (hoping to see them again in the future 💜).

🎨 On Thursday, a live drawing workshop took place at Fougaro Artcenter, and the artistic soul was awakened in some of us 😅

🧱 On Friday we continued gardening and also thinking about our personal projects (something nice that we can create for Hopeland and from which we will learn too). We will not give any spoilers and keep you in suspense for now .. and reveal it later 😉

✨The weekend started with we would say full-on energy. Some of us went hiking ⛰ to explore the beautiful surrounding areas of Peloponnesus, others went back to the arts centre Fougaro for a workshop on nutrition, zero waste and sustainability.

🌻 A few people also stayed in Hopeland and enjoyed the charm of Saturdays chill and then wild evening dancing and singing aaaaaah 🥳!

🧘‍♀️ Sunday was a yoga morning. Almost all of us joined classes in Nafplio, had lunch, a tour around Fougaro and rested under the 🌞. Sunny weather means a lot for many of us, as our friends and families back at home are still wearing winter jackets and we are so lucky to be here in (mostly) sunny Greece. Sending a bit of sun home to you mom 😁

🥰 And the sweetest part was when we arrived back home to Hopeland and some of our beautiful volunteers prepared amazing dinner (including Italian 🍕) for all of us.

🫶🏼 It feels so natural here to do things together and for the others, just because we want to make each other happy. Isn’t it beautiful?

Sending hugs,

Eyes Wide Open volunteers 🫂
