Hello everyone, the last time you read our blog, my project was the summer school. Here are the following of my adventures in Romania :

The summer school having finished in the middle of July, it was necessary to tidy up and clean the center, before finally leaving for new adventures but this time with the library. We were in the park and this adventure allowed me to meet Maria, a very exceptional woman.

We also had the exceptional presence of another association, the smiley club, which allowed us to learn face painting :
