Trainning in Lviv, Ukraine : to serve you better !

Hey Friends,

I come to you to share my "amazing" experience during a trainning in Ukraine last month, from 18 to 25 November.
The topic : Volunteer Messenger !

Do you know what to be VOLUNTEER is? To be involve or engage in association, as Centrum Międzynarodowej Wymiany Mlodziezy i Wolontariatu in Pultusk, or to participate in workcamps as your favorite association organise!!

Why did this trainning be organise? Because the number of volunteers decrease !! And VOLUNTEERS are INDISPENSABLE !!!

During this trainning,

I meet a lot of people all over the world... from Italy, Finland, Turkey, Germany... And now they are my friends !! ;)

                            

We worked together... in spite of ours differences, language, culture, age....

We speak together about what is "VOLUNTEERING" for us...

We had funny time together...

Despite our "full" planning !!

To sum up, this trainning was so AMAZING !!

Me, as VOLUNTEER, during this trainning I learnt a lot about me, others, and I increased a lot of skills :

- social skill

- presentation skill

- language skill

- intiative and entrepreneurship skill

- communication skill

- awarness 

-... and so one

Now I have a lot of new friends from all over the world !! We shared our experience as volunteer, and life experience... I know more about different countries, and of course I know more about myself !

And you?... What do you wait for being VOLUNTEER?

Natsumi from Japan is in Pultusk for her first Workcamp !

Hi,

I am Natsumi Takahashi, I am from Japan, I am 21 years old and I study English, Culture and Communication at the University in Osaka.

Yes, it's me : Natsumi !

I'm  taking part in workcamp where we play with children in a day care center in Pultusk. I joined this workcamp because I like children and I wanted to go in Europe. This workcamp is the first time for me. Also, I've never worked with children before so I was nervous on the first day. But children are very friendly even if we don't talk fluently when we communicate with each other.

Very nice !

The activities with children are so tiring that I go to sleep early at night, but the time I spend with the kids is valuable for me.

In addition, I learn about team work. Living with other volunteers who came from various countries is a new experience. It is interesting because I can get to know about other countries' culture, ethnic food, music, customs, thinking, etc.

Miam, miam : polish kielbasa !

The longer time I spend with the volunteers, the more I integrate with them.

It is good for me to join this workcamp in Pultusk !

Our Polish voluteer : Agnieszka !

Hello,

I'm Agnieszka :) I'm Polish, I'm 24 and I live in Warsaw. I study Applied Linguistics at the University of Warsaw, specialisation in Translation and Teaching.

I've decided to join the workcamp in Pułtusk because I've already had some experience in working for volunteering projects abroad and this time I wanted to see what it's like to help international students to carry out the project in my own country.

Agnieszka and the kids !

So far, I've enjoyed the workcamp a lot, both in terms of the activities we're involved in and when it comes to people I've met - together with French, Italian and Japanese volunteers, we work in a community day care center (świetlica), helping to organise the activities for children who joined the summer half-camp. We make a great team; we share our knowledge and experience, brainstorm ideas and have a lot of fun as well :)

Looking forward to the next week - we're organising various interesting events in Pultusk and we hope there are going to be many people joining us and enjoying the activities!

Do zobaczenia! :)

Workcamp n°2 in Pultusk : Elisa presents herself !
