Hello, beautiful
people!
Are you ready to
know more about my volunteering experience?
So l can`t wait to tell you about my second month in the capital of Turkey.
It`s my last month of short-term volunteering. That`s why l`d like to sum up
all my knowledges, insights and experience l got on this project.
First of all, l
found a lot of beautiful people. Or they found me, l don`t know:)
Turkish people are so amazing. I`m impressed by their hospitality and openness
to guests. Last week we were invited by our Turkish friend. His mother was
teaching us how to cook mantı. As a
result of good teamwork, we got a lunch. Me and other volunteers ate mantı with different sauces
prepared by ourselves and I can say that it was really tasty.
Our team enjoyed not only the cooking, but also the warm
atmosphere. For this three hours in this house l was feeling like at home. It
reminded me family lunch with my parents and relatives. I`m very grateful for
this opportunity and hope that it wasn`t the last such experience.
What about my knowledges except mantı of course? One of the biggest achievements for this month is public speech. Three times I was telling people about my volunteering experience and in general about ESC. The best part on this events with Turkish youth is that l was lucky to meet very clever and active people from different parts of Turkey. When l came here l had some goals and expectations. One of the main goals was discovering Turkish culture. Who can help better with this than citizens? That`s why every time l`m very excited about new acquaintance.
My experience in Turkey is also about discovering new places. Last week our volunteering team had a trip to Eskişehir. I`d like to share my impressions shortly. I really liked this city because of beautiful nature and places. Most of all I was impressed by museum of modern art. It was pleasure to spend there two hours there. Then we were eating çığbörek. We have the same meal in Ukraine but I liked Turkish version more honestly.
So my second month in Ankara was
full of new experience, knowledges and people. I explored a lot of new sides on
myself and l`m happy that this place gives me inspiration for new learning and
developing my skills.
