Halfway

      The last week, we worked in Creative center.

I like this center because we have a lot of material for working and the people enjoy with our activities. For example, the last day we made a dragon with colour paper and they are excited and happy with the activity and this is very rewarding because I feel that I am useful. 

      Another activity was to help painting two classes in a school and was funny but hard because the paint is not cleaned alone hahaha

      For other part, this week, for example, we are working in another center with little children and really I love this activity because I don’t need to know idioms for communicate whit them… is totally intuitive and funny and they love us.

      These two months and half have passed very quickly because I like my job and my life in Arad because teachers, children, mates, volunteers are very nice with me.

My onarrival training and weekly reports

Between 22-28 May I participated in a course in Bucharest. We were in a luxury hotel and I was enjoying the beautiful apartment on the top floor. Training was addressed to volunteers about 30 persons from diverse countries across Europe, but also overseas countries such as Cape Verde, the Canary Islands and Reunion. 

Through the traveling by train from Arad to Bucharest, I had good opportunity to met with other volunteers from other organizations based in Arad and also enjoyed beautiful landscape across Romania. Local rail traffic is not too good. The journey was about 12 hours, but I enjoyed it-views of the nature is amazing, like documentary film. Some tasks at onarrival course were pikants - for example: to finding 10 persons born in Bucharest and asking them what they like or dislike in life in the city, what is the sense of national humor, or what is insult to make funny of.. End of course wasnot easy for ew

eryone. We would like to stay there more time:).

Back in Arad-the most activity we were doing now in Tacovici center. People tere are very proactives. This week we planted together several summer plants to beautify the garden. The creative center continues with the teaching of English-and at the same time we learn Romanian language. Last time we learned part of the body. In addition, we try in both centers stimulate skills resident of painting and drawing. I like spend my free time discovering new places in town. Some places are strange-especially the periphery of cities, ruins, prisons..but it is also esence of local live.
