MORE NEWS FROM SEAN - 27 August 2004
Hi everyone,
How are you?
I have been living at Kibbutz Yahel for the past week and I am about to start my first
Shabbat on the kibbutz. The kibbutz is situated in the south of Israel in the Negev Desert.
Surrounding the kibbutz are beautiful red mountains. It is also very close to Eilat, so I went
snorkeling on Wednesday afternoon.
I started work a few days ago. I am working with the kibbutz electrician\handyman, so I am
learning how to repair things and how to use lots of power tools. Pretty useful stuff to
know. I think this was the most interesting job that was available, because all my friends
are either sorting melons, cooking and washing dishes, or cleaning hotel rooms.
Apart from the Netzer group that I have come here with, there are also quite a few people
our age on the kibbutz, as well as a group of volunteers from all over the world and a group
of soldiers who have just finished their service.
One of the kibbutznics has been building a pub, so I've been helping him work on it for the
last few nights, and the pub opens tonight. Hopefully it'll be a good party and all the young
people from the kibbutz will come.
My average day is as follows:
6:45 Climb out of bed and have a shower
7:15 Start work
8:00 Eat breakfast at the chadar ochel (dining room) and talk to my friends who are working
in the kitchen or eating breakfast
8:45 Continue working and playing with power tools
12:00 Lunch at chadar ochel
1:00 Back to work
4:00 finish work
4:05 Jump into pool
6:30 Climb out of pool (maybe cook if it's my turn, or read, or email, or talk to friends)
7:30 Eat
8:00 Hebrew, or asepha (meeting) or tv
9:00 Work on pub
11:00\12:00 read and go to bed
I'm having a great time.
Write back and take care,
Love,
Sean
