On our first morning in Tallinn, Estonia, with most people getting only 5 to 7 hours of sleep, we started a full and rewarding day. We unloaded a truck full of goods coming from the UK that were for the local Tallinn jews. About 20 people were needed for the operation. We worked briskly, as a group, and all with smiles beacause we knew it was for a good cause. We organized, unpacked, and prepared the clothes for senior citizens, who the next day would be allowed to pick things up. There was everything from belts to blouses. Later in the day, feeling good about our work, we met a group of Estonia peers our age. We played a dancing name game with our resident DJ Ilya on the board. It was a great experience, and a fun way to meet the locals. A dinner, a bus tour, and a night out at a jazz club followed, and it is safe to say it was good day. By Andrew.
