The Middle of the project.+
The
months are going very fast and yes, here we are in the middle of our EVS. The
med- term training was amazing like the first training. I must say that the volunteers
that I met were very kindly, funny and communicative and this good combination
makes our experience great. So, yes thanks so much. I want to say thanks for
the trainers too, they help us a lot. We analyzed step by step our projects and
experience using different activities.
I'm
thinking about project and our goals and I would like to analyze this deeper.
About the polish, for me is very difficult to speak and understand the
language, but I realize that is not only me and Igi, because all the volunteers
are like us, Ukrainian volunteers are the only one who speak polish. In the
beginning I was very sad but now I understand that is a difficult language and
I find it hard to speak, but I’m getting better in understanding others around
me. I think that the language is important to work especially with seniors and
for this reason maybe this part of the project is the hardest one for us, but
seniors now know us and is more easy work with them. Sometimes I would like to
speak polish to communicate me better with people that I know and it's a pitty when
have a language barrier, but anyway I'm happy because I'm spending my time with
polish people and this is very important for me when you are living in other
country. I'm very happy too because now there are more volunteers living in
Zamosc; Gergely, Joan and Biagio and I like to share my time with them too :)
Now
we have a lot of activities to work, very different each other. Work in kindergarten,
work with seniors, the tandem of languages, work in afternoon centers with
kids, presentations in high schools...We are trying to do that well, I'm very
happy to work with Igi, she is a very good partner and I think we make a very
good team :) But it's true that sometimes it's a little bit stressful because the
activities are getting more...and it comes in the last moment. Maybe it could be better if the whole plan of
the project was organized better in the beginning, I don't know. Anyway I feel
that I'm learning a lot and I'm giving and using my knowledge about some things,
for example in the kindergarten or in the afternoon centers. The presentations
are getting better and better too, sometimes it's little bit boring repeat the
same all the time, but we have a new presentation. We work a lot in this and we
hope that people will enjoy!
I'm
a little bit sad because I wanted to take some free days and I was thinking
that 10 days are enough period of time to warn my organization about that, and in
the end they didn’t let me do it.
Anyway in the last week of February
my parents and my sister came to Poland and we spend a great time together.
They like Poland and I was very happy to see them J
