Zdraveite na vcitchki,
News from Sofia, because the blog is a bit dead right now ...
We just returned from our "mid-term training", where as usual, we learned a lot, it has raved, slept and not too!
This training gave us a view from EVS ... We're starting to think all it took to make our records for the University ...
But to speak more in detail the project, being the first volunteers of the Blessed One, you realize that the association still has much progress to make in the Home Volunteer.
Indeed, what was the hardest for us is the fact of being without support in the orphanage where we work with a staff that does not interress masses to us, and a complicated communication by the fact that the Bulgarian, as a Slavic language with its Cyrillic alphabet can not be learned very quickly .. So there was not a very hard time, but we managed to climb off activities and to lead a little orphanage, with movie nights once a week, workshops kitchens (with recipes from all over Europe thanks to other volunteers ..), and workshops (bracelet, salt dough ...)... But five of the orphanage, we stayed still time to twiddle our thumbs ...
Fortunately for us, apart from the problem of integration with the orphanage staff, the teens were there ... Always curious, smiling, some willing to take part in our activities ...
It also sought to have more substantive and mount our own project with other volunteers, as a musical project and a project exploring, with the Bulgarian National Agency (Youth initiative), but no luck for us we found ourselves faced with internal conflicts, which prevented us from mounting these projects depriving teens of all our opportunities ... (We received a paper as an excuse stating that the project had been rejected on formal criteria, such as: they were not dragged into a plastic bag.)
So we now realize that project is ending and being what it is, our task before leaving was to make a difference both in level of the National Agency (for the history of conflict of person) at the orphanage, trying to make the best of the situation through dialogue ..
So now back to full training this new motivation, with new prospects ...
To all the volunteers, enjoy this great experience .. Thank
Eurocircle ..
AND soon on Marseille ...
