• A few changes in the list of teachers has recently been made: Cathy and Gilbert Cadene (week 1) will not make it to Herräng this year and they will be replaced by Catrine Ljunggren and Elliott Donnelley. Catrine and Elliott will because of this disappear from week 3 and they will be replaced by Joanna Ericsson and Henric Stillman. In the African-Cuban program Argelio Silega Ramirez has been replaced by Saul Pérez Valdés. Another change is that Dawn Hampton is planning to stay to the very end of the camp instead of travelling back home after week 4. And finally, Norma Miller will be in Herräng only for week 5, not 4 and 5.

• For quite some time we have been looking for some kind of storage boxes (probably a fairly big metal construction with several small compartments that can be locked individually with separate padlocks) meant for student’s temporary storage of smaller and valuable belongings and geographically meant to be placed in connection to the general accommodation/school area. So far we have not been very successful unless we want to pay a small fortune. If someone has ideas on this subject, please feel free to contact our office in Stockholm.

• We still have some vacancies on our volunteer list, if you are interested in such a position please do not hesitate to contact our volunteer co-ordinator Eddie Salgado at volunteers@herrang.com. One position that still is vacant is a post as a kind of informal patrolman in and around the camp, especially during evenings and nights.

• If you are planning to come to Herräng and Sweden this summer, an additional attraction could be to join travel arranger Gothia Outdoor and Culture and their arrangements showing the typical Sweden. For more information, please contact them directly at +46 (510) 771302 or visit their website at www.gothiaoutdoorculture.com or www.tursam.se.
