First month in Zamosc!!!!!

Hi guys!!!! I’m Alberto and I come from Italy, I arrived in Poland precisely in the beautiful Zamosc one month ago and I would like to share with you my experiences and emotions that I experienced during the first month.
The best moment before leaving was when Kasia informed me that I had been selected for this project ,I was very happy for this new adventure that was about to begin but at the same time a little worried.
I arrived in Zamosc in the evening after a long journey, I felt confused but when I met Kasia I was more quiet. That night I went to Wólka and I met Biagio an Italian volunteer, he and Kasia explained to me some things about my project.
The second day I met my mentor Joanna a very nice girl and she speaks Italian, ok I now I’m lucky ;)  . That evening has arrived in Zamosc Sergio the new volunteer and my flatmate from Spain, it was a  really beautiful month with him.
During the first week I haven’t worked, this week I served for acclimate and meet lots of new friend in Zamosc.
The first Thursday was fantastic because taking advantage of the festive day in Poland I, Sergio and Wólka people went to Kasia house in the beautiful national park near Zamosc ;) . During this day I met the Spanish volunteers working in Lublin  and together we spent a fantastic day of barbecue and walks in the nature.
The following days I have been using them to discover Zamosc. The old town and the square are beautiful but I prefer to stay in the fantastic Park Miesjki to relax and stay in contact with the nature, I love this Park and Zamosc. The first week was fantastic and the dinners with guys in Wólka was wonderful!!!!
The second week I started working in association and I met some great people working in Okraglak and the boss are very kind and helpful ;) .
During the second and the third working day  Sergio an I attended a presentation about communication whit senior and teenager, the presentation was made by Kasia. Congratulation it was an amazing and really funny presentation!!!!
The fourth working day we went to a school near Okraglak for celebrate children day, we spent a very great morning with children, we talked ( I do now what language we used) and we painting and danced together. I would  like to go back to that school and spend some time with children.
The fifth day of work we held a workshop with senior, we sang Polish song ( I love popular Polish song) and talked. This senior are very kind and funny  I love them.
Saturday we went to National Park with Kasia, Joanna, klaudia and Wólka guys to go kayaking, I had never been kayaking before and I liked a lot, this place is incredible ;) .
The third week was really great, I spent this week in Warsaw for on arrival training. During this training I met many guys from all over Europe. Talk together, play together and deal with guys who come from other countries is an amazing experience. During this training I learned a few word of Polish, know Polish language is very important when you work with senior and children, in addition I learned something about beautiful Polish culture.
At the end of the training I was sad because for me was very difficult to say goodbye to all the guys but at the same time I was happy to be back in the fantastic Zamosc and see my friends again.
During the fourth week we have made a very funny first date with Wólka people and other friends, it was amazing.
We spent the other days of the week with senior in some workshop or theatre.
During the last week we have prepared and attend a theatre performance ( Balladyna) with teenagers, it was a great experience working with them, thank you for the opportunity J .
During this week I had the opportunity to learn a bit Spanish, thank you teacher!!!!
This first month in Zamosc was one of the most beautiful of my life, I met many wonderful and kind people.
I had a lot of fun, everything is like a dream and I hope I never wake up.
Thank you Kasia for giving me this opportunity, I’ll try to do my best for this project.
Thank you Sergio and thank you wólka people for this amazing month!!!!!
A presto….ok it means see you soon guys!!!! J
