EVS in Nigeria

Traveling is very important to me. Since I was 18 years old, I spent at least 3 months every year in other countries. Talking long hours with lorry drivers while hitchhiking in Europe. Wandering through villages in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. Spending hours on benches in Spanish parks talking with old men. Or discovering vibrant nightlife with younger ones in Tel Aviv. Traveling means looking for knowledge about my greater passion - human beings. Exposing myself to different cultures, becoming more aware of myself in individual and global contexts. It’s simply how I grow up. I decided to participate in this program because I had to assure myself that I am making a good decision about my career path. I wanted to combine my love for travels and exploring places, contact with other people and cultures, interest in global politics and social development and passion for media, communication and journalism. And a little bit to prove myself, that I can become friends with everyone. No

EVS story from Wales - Magdalena Pyrgiel

Dear all, we would like to share a story of our volunteer Magdalena Pyrgiel which is in her EVS adventure in Wales. We very appreciate how precisely and touchingly she described her project, life and country and hope you`ll enjoy her story! Thank you Magda and wishing you all the best during and after your EVS!

From January onwards four months just flew by and I wonder what’s in store for the next three!

Instead I can describe what my project is about and give you a general overview of my stay here. A day out in Wales – across endless pastures! Being a part of the EAL Team in Merthyr, South Wales I am

EVS Leyla Olberding talks from Warzsawa

Hej! So nice to be here sharing remarkable expericiences from EVS participants from 2016. Today Leyla Olberding from Germany share her adventure. Check it out. ;) Cześć! My name is Leyla and I am a volunteer at Fundacja Pomocna Dłoń in Poland! I'm living and working in Warsaw, the beautiful capital. Our work (I’m working with Sara) is about the residents of Fundacja Pomocna Dłoń, a home for people with disabilities. Most of them are in an age of about 50-70, though there are also some younger ones. Leyla's working place ;) It is wonderful to experience, that to connect with people you don't need to speak the same language. Though, it would help a lot! In the beginning, they had a lot of fun teaching us new polish words. We were really happy when we could remember the pronunciation of some words, so of course we tried to use them in conversations with the workers or in a shop. Leyla in action! Most of the time the respon
