We can't repeat our emotions. And sometimes experiences are so special that we can't describe and reflect them in appropriate way. Maybe that's why for the first time, in my whole volunteering experience here in Iceland, I found it so difficult to write this workcamp report. I just decided not to do it in the common way, to give you some words related to the two weeks living and working together and quotate some thoughts from my volunteers book, as I guess the best this story is told by those who where on the spot.

Don´t get too excited, you won't find real names as it's fair enough to keep them anonymous
