about me

Ex-Volunteer. From Spain. Disposed to share all those things that made me happy while I was living in Poland. ( 1st September 2006 - 24th June 2007). Two reasons: - not many people know about the European Volunteer Service. - not too many people know that nothing is impossible.

What is EVS?????



The European Volunteer Service, is an agreement between two organisations from any country of Europe: the Sending Organisation and the Hosting Organisation. The first one sends a person to the other organisation who wants to take part of some project, working as a volunteer.
There are many different terms for the projects: 3 months minimum, one year maximum.
MY PROJECT:
My sending organisation was Ayuntamiento de Burgos, Spain, and I was sent to OHP, for ten months, in Biala Podlaska, Poland.
OHP is a government agency operating in the field of trainning, upbringing and employment of young people. I took part in a number of activities organized by OHP and in common rooms with which this organisation cooperates.
My tasks: Helping find new international contacts and maintaining cooperation with foreign partners wich they were already working with. Helping create interesting ideas and finding new conceptions for future projects.In common rooms, "Amicus" and "Perspektywa", helping organise and taking part in free time activities for children and youngters during all the year, language conversation with children, doing homework and supporting them.
