Hello! My name is Sandra and I am EVS volunteer in Latvia at "BALTA DABA" organisation. The country is wild and so wonderful and the team members treat me really good! During my EVS we are doing a very interesting activities. The first activity that I did on my EVS was to go birdwatching with one Latvian ornithologist boy. After that we made some lovely nest boxes! I really liked it this activity because I love birds. Other interesting activity was at "Dabas koncerzāle", is a very special concert in the nature, combining nature, music, poetry, art and lights.

I was lucky because I met a very kind boy from Rigas Mezi (Forest company in Riga) and he showed me their forests, the tree nursery and a sawmill and he explained to me how they are managing the forests in Latvia. In addition, I visited with my boss one Forest Museum created by one woman in her free time. The woman was so interesting, she could tell us many nice stories about Latvian forests, because she worked in the forests all her life.

In addition, we have made some river protection workshops (cleaning the river of wood, etc.) with local people and with people from Portugal (they came because we have one common project) and some trips riding a bike or hitch-hiking around beautiful Latvia. Of course, sometimes I cook Spanish food! Yummy!

Here you can see some photos. Next month it will be full of new activities, I am so excited! Yeah!
