~ Accomplishing

Dear diary and our dear followers 🌞,

🤩 WOW! Today we found out that our posts are getting more views than usual. For that, we especially thank you and sending a biiiiiig hug.

🌿 Now we have even more motivation to share with you how we are doing and what we have experienced in the last days...

⏳ We continue working in Hopeland on our personal projects, some in small groups and others individually. One of the projects is building queer shelves 🪚in the common dining area. Another one is working on the Hopeland library 📚 which includes building a new shelf and sorting the books that are already here. Meanwhile, some others are building new stairs to the round building, another group is creating a herb book and one person is constructing a wooden clock. There is also a photography project about all current volunteers here and another person is creating connections with locals through arranging visits to a local bakery, cheese farm and winery.

🧩 Today we had a silent morning up until our morning meeting at 9:00. During weekdays, we are all coming together twice a day for our checking in on how we feel (including many different metaphors: which animal, colour, character, city,...would you be in this moment?), our work progress, announcements and planning.

🙏 The final stages of completing the projects are underway, we are already looking forward to the presentation on Monday. Don't worry, you will be there with us through stories☺️.

Sending hugs,

Eyes Wide Open volunteers 🫂
