Amsterdam BeWelcome Collective
From BeVolunteer Wiki
The Amsterdam BeWelcome Collective will be held from Friday the 20th of June till Sunday the 6th of July. We have a very welcoming house available for 2 weeks, 20 minutes walking to the center of Amsterdam, decent internet connection (with wireless), 4 rooms, a roof, a fully equipped kitchen (a blender, an oven, we even have a waffle iron smoke came out of the waffle iron and electricity stopped working).
Kasper and Robin will be hosting. Come join us. Be welcome for 2 weeks or just a couple of days. We'll be working on wikis, setting up a BeWelcome travelguide, software development, with awesome jam sessions and great food.
