My name is Baia, I´m from Georgia. I´m volunteer of EVS express, my project is Powered by Corporet Social Responsibility. Why I´m here? - My friend told me about this program and then I read the information in details in internet, it seemed quite interesting to me, so I decided to try myself. I think that this program provides young people all over the world with the personal improvement. I´m lucky to have a chance to participate in this project, this is a good examine, which I have to pass. I thought much about the role of volunteer and made up my mind that it is a very responsive work. Volunteers must help people, take care of them and leave positive feelings to them. I like to meet people, to comunicate with them…So, I think this job is for me.
Now I´m in Arad.I feel I am exactly there, where I must be. I like Romania, this is a fairyland with beautiful views, landscapes.On the way from Bucharest to Arad I liked mountains with autumn colours,wooden houses.It was 12 hours of tiresome travelling by train but it was worth of it. I like Arad, it´s a small, calm city with goodhearted people and beautiful architecture.
At first I hadn’t quite clear idea about what I would have to do, but after the on-arrival trainings I already have understood everything about my project.This week was very productive for me, it helped me to acquaint with other volunteers, to become close to them.I liked Belie Felix, Oradia with it´s architecture and fotresses.
As for my job I have chosen homeless people´s places. In my opinion these people need more attention, special care to make their life easier.I think that I can do more for them, then for those who don’t really need help. I was really impressed after my first working day in Kathy’s centre. I saw sadness and love in those people’s eyes and I want to do something special for them, anything that I can do.The most difficult for me was the visit in the area , where the poorest people live.I couldn’t imagine that on the other side of the rich houses poorest people live in the untolerable conditions.It is very hard to see and to comprehend.
Besides my activities I want to work on myself, I want to find myself and realize what I want to do.I hope to improve my English, because it is poor and makes me difficulties to express my opinions, ideas..Also I want to study Romanian, I like this language,it´s pronunciation.and it will help me to comunicate with local people and make my work easier.
At last I think these six months will be the interesting period of enquiring culture and traditions of different countries and of great experiences in my life.
