 Meet a volunteer 


After different EVS applications, this was the question of my sending association that took me in Targu Jiu on 6th november. After few weeks I'm happy to be catapulted in this experience. The project S.A.V.E. is very interesting and supporting teachers during classes and activities is a pleasure. The school is welcoming, all are so friendly and children and teenagers are so affectionate and polite, spend time with disabled children leaves you in a good mood all day and than actually are they my first teachers. I hope to learn as soon as possible romenian language and culture to be able to collaborate better and why not with a touch of cretivity. This is an important opportunity for me that includes several elements of my experience to put into play my creativity and the techniques of education and entertainment that I developed for passion in the church and in part-time jobs.I also have a degree in economics (and what does it matter?) Ok ok, but my thesis concerning the rights of passengers with reduced mobility traveling by sea and by air in Europe. Romania and Italy have many common points, can I call you European cousins? Ok, we haven't so many Dacia cars but if you try to cut your Mamaliga in 2 cm slices thick and than fry them, you will get an Italian recipe the "Sgagliozze". I notice with pleasure that religion is important for romanians. Recently we visited the beautiful orthodox church of Lainici and hermitage. Who knows if this trip will be a good omen for these 4 guys with so much willingness will help the school “Centu ?colar Pentru Educa?ie Inclusiv?” of Targu Jiu. So, Noroc!
