Hungarian volunteers in France
The last of our Summer volunteers left on Wednesday morning heading home to Hungary. Richard was the first of Hungarian volunteers we have had stay at La Giraudiere.

Richard who was taking time out before going to university hopes to study to become a medic or doctor. During his three weeks at La Giraudiere Richard learnt how to put up plaster boards and the supporting railing for dry lining or doublage as it is known in French.
Richard also helped out in the Park and Garden with weeding, trimming and cutting grass. Repairing the bikes also was something Richard enjoyed and he proved to be a very good cyclist taking off to Aubeterre and as far as Angouleme, which by the way is 50 kilometres from LG,
Cooking for the group was another job that Richard took in hand and he produced some nice evening meals and desserts.
Petanque, or boules, is a game that is played twice a week in the village in the evenings and the volunteers from LG are always invited to join in. Richard proved to be a very useful player and tested the French to the line losing on one occasion only 12-13

“So thank you Richard for being our First Hungarian Volunteers and for all you did and maybe see you back at La Giraudiere one day.”
