A New Zealand Volunteer in France

This week we said goodbye and thank you to Carolyn Nimmo, a volunteer from New Zealand who came to the south west of France to improve her French skills and to experience the French culture.

Carolyn quickly immersed herself in the French culture by participating in regular games of Pétanque, speaking French with locals and other volunteers.

In New Zealand Carolyn works with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to arrange and support people who are coming from developing countries to New Zealand to study. A dream of hers is to live in France for about 6 months and she is definitely well on her way to being able to speak the language fluently.

At La Giraudiere she took on many housekeeping and gardening duties.She regularly planted new flowers around La Giraudiere and taught new volunteers a little bit about gardening.

Thank you Carolyn for your help at La Giraudiere. It was a pleasure to have you on our team and to work with you!
