Meeting of workcampers

As some of you may remember, I participated in a workcamp in Argentina. Now Inex (my outgoing organization) organized a meeting of the people who participated in the workcamps. It took place in Kostelecke Horky.
We were nearly forty there (still, there haven't been even slightly all the volunteers). We were some 25 going from Prague - the train ticket was CHEAP, kind of, it cost some 55 crowns, while for one person it would have been 162. The majority of us had been on our first workcamp. What surprised me - the number of science and technology studying people. When I was at the preparatory weekend, most people were Humanities students. I met there three matfyz students, a lot of engineering students (CVUT, VUT) etc. Seems workcamp volunteering starts to become more and more popular. Still, the majority were women.
Still, most of the students are not locals and live in the schools' hostels. While this may be considered a nuissance, I somewhat pity I won't live there (considering I'll study in Prague, at least in the beginning). It seems to be sometimes fun.
One of the people there could play harmonica excellently.
We had a lot of difficulties arriving to the place, as our train was late. It was dark and the path was unclear (difficult even when returning, during a day). We stepped in a mired field, touched an electrical fence...
We played a lot of games. I also enjoyed the tales of others from their travels (though no one had been out of Europe, to my great surprise). The organizers were also telling us about next possibilites. It ranged from office work in the Inex Prague office, helping in coordination of some actions, but also leading workcamps and long-time volunteer opportunities. Of these, there are middle and long term workcamps, GLEN and EVS. GLEN and EVS are especially attractive, as everything, including travel, is paid for you. GLEN is for three months, the trouble is that the admission is very competitive. One of the organizers of the meeting, a very experienced volunteer, had applied for GLEN three times so far, but hadn't been admitted. On the other hand the trouble of EVS is that it's usually one year long (though there's been rumors it's currently starting to organize some shorter projects.). The second problem (for me) is that it just includes European Union states - and those can be much better accessible for me via a university exchange (in the future, I mean).
Who cares anyway. So much time left - I don't even know if I want to go to a workcamp during the summer (or if I have time...).
