There may also be some external work around the church.Beside the work in the church volunteers will organize and participate in activities with the children of the village. The end of the project will be celebrated by a concert in the church.
Accommodation : Accommodation will be in a local flat and volunteers will have the use of the local public hall's facilities.
Special requirements : Volunteers should bring a picture of themselves to add to the \'Hall of Fame\' for the Avricourt international volunteer project! If volunteers are musicians they should also feel free to come with their instruments - the \'Noyon Harmony\' group will be ready to invite them to join the final concert in the church.
