During the week I was at Chaos Oasis I helped prepare for the imminent arrival of important visitors. With Alisa, two other WorkAwayers, and a group re-roofing a bungalow, we became a team. After 7am breakfast, some worked on roofing, or getting hospitality areas ready, dusting, sweeping, repainting… also gardening or making compost.
