Some secrets of our logistic team...

One of the things that it’s working best during this week is our logistic team. Our way of being grateful to them for their work is revealing all their secrets! 

There are 13 members in the team: Hans (coordinator), Roeland (cook), Bart, Ben, Sarah, Tom, Joyce, Jan, Jane, Luc, Titjezz, Sylvia and Wouter. They are so happy working together because they are always joking and, until now, they haven’t had any serious problem. “We are always fighting and having fun at the same time”, they joke. 

Some of the most funny anecdotes they remember are, for example, when Titjezz threw some whipped cream in Bart’s head and when they found a potato that looked like a chicken wing!

Maybe one of the most interesting secrets of the logistic team is how they manage to plan the meals so they don't have to throw too much food away. And… soup is the answer! . “As we had leftovers of carrots from one dinner, we cooked a carrot soup; and we did the same with cauliflowers”, they confessed.

They all agree that the most disgusting task is cleaning the toilets. Actualy, they are not very happy with the participants in this sense. “People don’t respect the “rules” and there’s too much shit to clean!”, they complain. 

About watching at night, surprisingly they haven’t punished anybody until now. “The youngsters only wake up to smoke a cigarette and after that they go back to sleep”, they tell us. Maybe because of that Jan loves so much this task that he did it for 2 consecutive days without sleeping!
