SUMMARY:Hospitalero Training in Victoria
DESCRIPTION:If you enjoyed being a pilgrim and would like the opportunity to give back to the Camino and pilgrims traveling it\, this opportunity may be for you. Imagine spending two weeks in an albergue\, welcoming pilgrims\, chatting\, and perhaps making tea or coffee for them. Getting to know some of the villagers. Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Oh\, there’s also the sweeping and general housekeeping to ensure all pilgrims feel welcome. If you are interested\, please visit the Canadian Hospitalero blog for more information and see where other Canadians are serving. \nYou’ll find contact information on the blog site.
