Shrub Clearance and Hedge Laying
19/11/09

"My name is Iva. I am a second year Public Relations student in the University of Greenwich , London and I am a volunteer for Embrace Cooperation. I helped in the creation of a wonderful tree hedge in the Woodlands, we made a lot of videos and pictures...It was particularly interesting for me because...it was a totally new experience...Also, I met very nice people there. Definitely, it was unforgettable experience."
