Visit in Bytow

I stood up at 5:30 and it`s so unusual for me that I needed about 2 hours to awake :) Buut, Bytow discovered so beatiful that I was absolutuly woken up very soon :) Me and my dear friend Beata went to bytow for some exibition about very interesting things, u could receive a lot of information there about companies, schools, who are trying to help people find a job, it`s so nice for me to see how they help young people to be more motivated, to do something very good and not to be without job any more... And of course more nice was to see that these youth were really interested and searching something useful for them. I want to say thank u again to all the people for hospitallity, who organized this , maybe I`m a little but egoist, but I have to be honest and say that it`s so great feeling for me, when everyone is so opened with me, smiling and honestly says all the time "welcome to Poland", even on this exibition a lot of people whom I didn`t know before hosted me very warm and mentioned that volunteer from Georgia is with us etc... :)


I already began thinking it will be so difficult to leave Poland :( But I still have a lot of time :)
I`m talking about my emotions so long that sometimes I`m forgotting what about I`m writing :)) I liked this old historical castle so much, it was amazing, I
visited the muzeum and during going-over it I felt myself in the previous centuries :) Beata helped me to understand everything better, I heard a lot of information about history from her, because in this Museum was a lot of old, historical and beatiful things, we were even almost lost in it but thanks god we found out the way :)

During "being in previous centuries" young people were fishing and everyone was trying ro be the first, because there were some presents for winners :)
of course, winner was the only one, but actually all of them were luckies because all they received some presents ( In next time I`ll paricipate in it for sure:) ) then we had very tasty dinner in Bytow and went back to home :) I could see that youth were very happy and full of emotions and it`s so nice, time after time I have more wish to be closer with them and help as much as I can.
So, I was very tired in the end of the day and went to sleep, but full of positive emotions and energy :)

P.S. I miss my mentor very much :( he broke his leg and now I`m trying to be his mentor as much as I could :)

"Earth Day" and my Birthday :)


Actually I wrote this post on 30 of april but I`m writing a little bit later, so today is my birthday  22 years, still young yea? :P
But I had more important mission on this day then to think about my birthday  I was a little bit late at office and My mentor was so “angry” that he forgot about my birthday and was going go send me back to Georgia ) But then suddenly I saw him and Beata ( our friend) with cake in his hands and candles 22  surprise  I made a wish  thanks a lot again my dear friends 


So, today I had to meet youth (like I met yesterday) and make presentation of Georgia for them and again worrying. (not very much ) Beata helped me to communicate with them, and during the presentation I was looking on their faces very carefully, I wanted to read something on their faces, emmocians, impressions… They stopped me several times and were asking some questions about Georgian dances, dishes, singing, what they had seen in presentation and I really saw that they were interested and even asked me to learn them these dances and make together "khinkali". I was just happy :)
Then we went together on "Earth day", where we took as much papers as we had and reseived plants  there was promotion for this day and we had very funny and nice day 
I was really happy, I was more self-sured in myself and already began thinking what to do the next for this youth  Maybe I`ll try "Khinkali?" or dance lessons? Or something like English learning workshop? Ok, I`ll ask them :P :)
And I had the greatest present for my birthday-bicycle, I was screaming with happiness, again thank u my dear friends, my polish friends :)

Visiting The Theatre Performance Of Young People



To say the truth, I was worrying a little bit, I knew that this youth where I was invited to see the theatre performnce, are different, they are grown up in difficult conditions, they are interested mostly smoking, drinking etc… But in this presentation I`ve seen and understand that this youth needs real motivation to do something useful for them, they just don`t understand why to study, why to learn something from other people, maybe because they don`t think a lot about their future life, or unfortunately they are just agree to take example from their parents… But the main thing for me was that suddenly I felt it was really very interesting for me to work with them, because I`m motivated very much to make something interesting for them, even simple but just make them smiling and show that there are a lot of kind and great thinks to do and let`s do it together!

My First Days Of EVS



What is EVS?

Why have u decided to do EVS?

These are the most popular questions when u say: “I`m EVS volunteer…” Actually people, who knows very well what EVS is, don`t ask very often the second question… My EVS voluntary service has already begun; I`m in Gdansk, Poland, and sometimes even now I can`t realize that everything is already ok, because I was waiting for it for about 5-6 months…
Now I`m here, writing short report about my volunteering and day after day my motivation has become deep and deep. Firstly, I want to mention that a lot of things during EVS, especially in the beginning of the project, depends on environment where u are, on people, whom u are surrounded by and I`m so happy that I can archly say “I`m just lucky and I found myself in the group of great people!” I have the best mentor ever! From the first day of my arrival he has just become my friend, helped me to realize better what will be my job at office, with young people, he helped me to communicate easier with local people, with our staff etc…
From the second day I`ve met the Boss and the president of our organization to speak with them about my arrival, accomodation, future plans etc…
Day after day I realized that I like my volunteering more, than I expected, I just love people whith whom I work, I`ve already have first friends, who also help my not to feel myselt alone and to see the sightseeings of Gdansk and polish culture better…
