Yes, very helpful.

What was the best part(s) of the workcamp?

Connecting strongly with the kids and local staff.

Were your expectations met? If yes, how? If no, why?

 Yes, but not entirely. Accommodation situation and teaching schedule were briefed before and they're as

expected. Nevertheless, staff there turned out to be really helpful and showed great hospitality, especially Ann

and Julia. They were great local guides showing me and the other volunteer around town. The kids were so sweet and welcoming, not the problem teenagers I thought they would be. 

What improvement can be made for this workcamp?

 Julia is the only assistant to Olga, the owner of Optimum Semper. The work load seem to be too much for her,

so sometimes she would mistake the schedule or even forgot to make appropriate reservations etc., there were

a lot of miscommunication but it was understandable.

Do you have any suggestions for future volunteers?

1.Remember to bring your sleeping bag. Or you'll have a tough time sleeping.

2.Ask when you think something’s wrong. Don't assume it is the way it should be, because things there are not

very organized.

3.Don't be afraid to voice your opinion or suggestions, they will really appreciate it.

4.Estonians are the nicest people I met in Nordic/ Scandinavian area, enjoy your workcamp and make as much

friends as you can! 

Was there any conflict/problems (ex. cultural differences) during the workcamp? If so, how was it resolved?

 Not really, Nordic culture has a lot in common with Asian culture. For example, people take their shoes off when

they’re at home or indoor, people are always very on time, people are nice but don’t react a lot with

strangers…

Each project is meant to have an aim and for the volunteers to learn/reflect upon. Was the aim clear in your work? What did you learn?

The aim is to help others.

Any additional comments?

No.
