Dance4life Caravan Camp is my first short term workcamp which I joined. It was held in Grobogan. I decided to join that workcamp because I interested with such activity in Semarang. I helped the comitte in Semarang and I think it was great program.
In 2017 there were 5 dance4life workcamps. Semarang regency, Semarang city, Grobogan, Solo and Rembang. I choosen Grobogan because it was the nearest one as well as I had known well the campleader. We did a workcamp before in Semarang.
I invited some friends in order to the program would be more attractive. It would be great and fun if we can did it together with my friends right? And Rafika, my friend at my former organization agree to joined with us.
The international volunteer was from France, her name is Christelle Dang. She is a Vietname descent, so her look like ours. As I know, France people are not good in English, because they feel that they are superior than British. But, Christelle is really good in English. Her pronounciation just perfect.
We did that workcamp happily. Me and Rafika as local participants, Christelle as international participant, as well as Aring and Aji as camp leaders. We went to target schools to promoted anti bullying and taught them dance4life, made batik at batik centre, did household activities, and played outside. I really love all activities.
Aring and Aji were not good in English, but they learnt much and improved. I also learnt much from Christelle, even she taught me basic French such as "Bonjour, Au revoir, La tour Eiffel, Mercy".
I enjoyed the activities. I can learnt English, French, make a batik, dance, presentation, and many more. Anyway, Grobogan is a great place with great culinary tourism. I found many unique and delicious foods there. Oh, im miss Grobogan so much.
