When I first decided to volunteer in Turkey my motivation was to get to know Turkish culture better, discover new places, learn about traditions, religion.
My adventure started in November, when I arrived in Ankara. I am in a team with other volunteers (the girls, also, I share an apartment with) and we participate in lots of activities:
We go to schools and teach english, we help packing food for people in need, we attend meetings to promote Erasmus Solidarity Corps projects ect.
Children at school are adorable. They are nice and lovely and give us so much love from the first time we met. You can always feel it despite of language barriers. I always ask them if they know something about my country (usually all they know is that Turkey beat Georgia in football.
