So here I am, on a 6 week volunteer stint in Więckowice, a small village in the suburban area of Kraków. For the past few weeks, I’ve been working with an NGO called Fundacja Wspólnota Nadziei that provides assistance to adults with autism. The centre operates a farm for the autistic participants to work on, and this is the first of its kind in Poland.

(Un)fortunately, my stay here coincided with the death of Polish President Lech Kaczyński as well as many other important officials. Last Sunday, I attended his funeral at Kraków, and put together a short piece of street scenes leading up to the event.

The accompanying song was recorded live at the market square where the crowd was gathered to watch the funeral. The actual event took place at the Wawal Castle, which was out of bounds for the public. This is a catholic hymm about resurrection, and it is usually sung during Easter.

More about work and life on the farm coming up soon..
