4th day at the camp. The building of the ship goes on at the last speed. The roof is completed, celebration done. Today the outer layer has started to be placed.
In the morning web id farewell to Kaitlin. She goes back to Istanbul to continue her world tour. She tells us about it; how one day all of a sudden she decided to leave everything behind with an irresistable instinct and hit the road to Tailand, India and now Turkey. Her best-friend buys a book called “Work Your Way Around The World” by Susan Griffith. They find out that they can travel around the world workng in organic farms. In that book they are introduced with the organisation called WWOOF-Willing Workers On Organic Farms, next thing they are in Tailand. The landlord of the farm in Tailand is gone to Bankog. So, they find an orphanage there where they work as volunteers and later on moving forward to an orphanage in India. When they arrive in Turkey, they find out that the farm here looks for long term workers. So they just start travelling. This is how I get the chance to met her. She got very excited to hear about the Ararat Project. About the project, she points out that this is the first time that she works in a project whose sole purpose is to raise awareness and get attention. She adds that she is very content to participate in the project because of its significance and purpose. She speaks about her home countary USA related to the project. She believes that her goverment should spend more money on the sustainable energy and no money on the war. She says that in the USA, only a handful of cities have effective public transportation. She thinks that the actual global warming is caused by the industry but the transprtation is also significant. Because it is something that the avarage people can change. She adds that she prefered to get to Iğdır in 43 hours by train rather than flying for 2 hours, and enjoyed it very much for she got to see a major part of Turkey in this way, encouraging people to fly as less as they can. We send off Kaitlin in the morning. After Turkey, she is heading to Greece and Italy to work in the organic farms. Bon Voyage Kaitlin!
