Rethink, Reshape and Awake the Community in Lisboa Anna Rozwadowska
The beginning I made the decision to volunteer in May 2021. At that time, I was in the last year of my studies and I was looking for something that I could do after graduation. I learned about EVS from a friend who also decided to take part, so together we sent our CV and together in October of the same year we flew to Lisbon to start our adventure. My closest family was with me at the airport, including my little nephew, who was the most difficult for me to say goodbye to.
About the project My project Rethink, Reshape and Awake the Community in Lisboa was organized by ProAtlântico - Associação Juvenil as part of the European Solidarity Corps. The sending organization from Poland was Fundacja Rozwoju Społeczeństwa Przedsiębiorczego.
About the project During the project, I worked in a kindergarten which belongs to the Casa Pia de Lisboa organization. The school was located in the center of Lisbon, thanks to which I had the opportunity to explore the city.
About the project The group I worked in consisted of students between the ages of 3 and 6. My duties included taking care of children, playing with them, but also helping with the distribution of meals.
About the project During these few months, I developed a deep relationship with the children.
More than volunteering This project was more than just a volunteer job. First of all, it was an opportunity to meet new people and their cultures. Among my friends there were people from Spain, Turkey, Romania, Estonia, Italy and many other European countries.
New opportunities During the project, I also had the opportunity to travel. Within a few months I visited Italy, Madeira, Tenerife and I managed to fulfill my dream, which is to visit New York.
