Maissem's Second Month

 Hi! This is me again

This month was so cool. We started it by doing a new activity which is going to a school and giving non formal education to pupils from 5 th grade to 9 th grade. The teachers were so nice and helped us when needed. Also, the pupils were happy about our presence there and they welcomed us with warmth the first day by giving us beautiful notes.

During this month I did Tunisia’s Culture Day! I enjoyed sharing my culture, food, dance and history with the other volunteers and I am sure that I did well representing my country.

I am extremely happy that I was able to finish creating a scarf during the knitting workshop. I hope the kid who will receive it will be happy as well about it and I hope he/she will like it. Actually, I think knitting will be a new hobby for me from now on!

We finished also 8 lessons of Turkish language and I am satisfied by the level of Turkish that I attended currently! Now I am able to manage small conversations with venders in the shops and that’s impressive in only two months!!

During this project I didn’t do only project related activities, I visited 3 Turkish cities: Istanbul, Cappadocia and Konya. I enjoyed discovering each one of them and I made a lot of memories and pictures in each city. I also appreciate the international friendships that I created during those 2 months.

Overall, my experience in this project is a very special one. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of this journey. Turkey will always have a special place in my heart. And now I am going back home with tears in my eyes and holding onto moments that will stay with me forever.

Thank you ANDER! Thank you ESC.
