National Sweden Day

Today, June 6, was the National Day of Sweden and a public holiday so some of us took a trip down to the archipelago. Jackson and Robin brought us to one of the small islands where their friend Sarah (sp?) had a summer home. We enjoyed the beautiful weather on the beach and swimming in the ocean.

Today, Mission Compostable spent another day working in Hammarkullen. As promised, here are some photos of the work area of the Dare2Build project.

Arrival in Gothenburg

Team Mission Compostable arrived in Gothenburg on Saturday and met up with Jackson, one of our Chalmers counterparts, who showed us around the city. Sunday was spent exploring the city, walking through the lovely streets and parks, and capped off with a barbecue with a group of Chalmers students and Team Vaxthus. It’s so easy to lose track of time when it stays light until 11 pm.

Monday was our first day of work and we spent it at the Dare2Build workshop with Shea, Larry, and many more.  We are joining an ongoing project that aims to provide the community in Hammarkullen with a space containing tools and materials that can be used to repair broken items instead of throwing them away. I unfortunately forgot to take any pictures of the site or the people we worked with, but I will attempt to remedy that over the next few days.
