Hello volunteers!

My name is Rute, I'm from Portugal and I'm 28 years old. I'm on the tic tac mood to go to Tallin and very excited with this new experience in life. I'll be volunteering in Noor, in three different areas: communication, social work and teaching.

I've been working the last four years as a press journalist, so, connections to people, a pen and a paper are enough to be happy :) I'm also obsessed (in the best sense of the word) about music, travelling, photography and cinema.

And yes, it's true: I'm leaving the most sunny and lightning city in Europe - Lisbon - to a "foggy" and cold  surrounding. But I sincerely hope to find lightness in volunteering service, in Estonian natural beauty and in all of you.

Let's enjoy each other. See you soon.

  Hello friends!


  My name is Lola and I'm from Asturias in northern Spain, and I have 31 years. I Studied Social Work, because since I was a child I knew I wanted to work with people.
I'll be volunteering at Tallinna Puuetega Inimeste Koda.

   I really love watching movies, reading books, walking with my four dogs to which I will miss you very much ( Kiwi, Brownie, Gordo and Kira ), cooking and recently discovered the world of photography, and I love it!
  
   A greeting. ^^

Tervist, Hello Dear Volunteers!

 

My name is András, I’m from Hungary and I’m 26. I’ll be a volunteer in Elva Väikelastekodu, not far from Tartu. In the Orphanage of Elva there are both disabled and healthy children, I’ll have different activities with them. But I’m a little bit scared of the afternoons of Thursday, because I’ll have homework school with the older children and my math knowledge is not the best. :-)

In the last summers I worked as children animator in Tunisia and in Greece, three years ago I got a scholarship and I lived in Tartu for 4 months, so I have experience working with children and I already know the Estonian winter. It’s cold and beautiful in the same time. In a few weeks you will meet this lovely cold weather. :-)

See you soon!

András

Hi everybody,

My name is Zsuzsa, I am 24 and from Hungary. I will work at JUKS Tugikeskus in Tallinn with mentally and phisically disabled people. So far I have participated in many social and environmental related projects, but this will be quite a new experience for me, so I'm very excited! I'm fond of films (and so lead a filmclub) and music as well, and it would be nice to find somebody who also bring an instrument and make some music! :) I play on congas, but will bring only my bongos, but no worries, it's still enough loud! :)) Oh, and another aim for this 9 months is to find out why Hungarian and Estonian are in the same language group. :)

Take care until we meet and have a nice flight!
Zsuzsi

Hello!

   I'm Wojtek from Poland, I'm 24, I'll be a volunteer in Maidla Noortekeskus.
About me I don't want to write much cause we're going to meet soon in one, very green, well know to all of us country in the west of  Europe. Till that time, if you want - go to :http://www.myspace.com/564462156  where you can find part of me.
  One thing only: if you have one particular document "Welcome to Estonia_201213" you'll find there some false information about me. I'll use the opportunity of this blog to clear up this before we meet:
  I'm not yet in Estonia, waiting there for you but as same as you I'll come the next days. So I'm not keeping everybody healthy and sporty there (yet), and  I'm not a girl  :)   quite amusing, isn't it?
This is of course only a bagatelle, but let's stay true, alright.

   So, can't wait to see you all very soon!

Serdeczne pozdrowienia!

Hi everyone ;) 

I'm Cédric I'm 22 from France. As I came once to Estonia I wanted to go back there and now I'm going to work in Uulu's culture and sport centre. Uulu is close to Pärnu where I will be living.

I like music ( mostly electro pop  ) sports ( like handball ) watching movies, cinema and spend time with my friend.

Until now I was working as a cashier ... nothing really exciting but its a nice experience. I'm really happy to stop it now and do something new and much interesting.

I don't know what more I can say here but we all be soon in Tallinn where we can all discuss much more.

See you soon ! 

Cédric
