After a month of living there I can say it
was good decision, so far. During that time I adapted to the new environment,
met new people – in my organization, my flat mates as well as other volunteers
living in the neighborhood. Just after arrival I participated in the on-arrival
training, which gave me chance to think more about my time there, my goals,
activities I will be taking part in as well as to meet other volunteers from
Georgia and Armenia and exchange thoughts and ideas. Moreover, I participated
in one youth exchange with youngsters from Denmark, which was a great time and
opportunity to meet new people and spend time on activities, which I had never
had time for before. My first month here is also about discovering Georgian
culture with amazing supra tradition, super delicious food (so far khinkhali
and eggplants with walnuts are my bests), amazing wine, beauty of country and
hospitality of locals.
I started on-going job in my organization –
helping with events organizing by it, organizing and leading clubs for
youngsters as well as organizing other activities aimed on making live in
Rustavi more vivid and interesting. They also help to be more integrated with
local society, feel like at home and be part of the people living there.
First month passed really quickly and I’m
pretty sure this same will happen with the remaining time. I hope it will be as
interesting and full of emotions as the past month and at the end I would be
able to say: “Wow that was amazing time!” However, right now is time to focus
on my time here and enjoy every second of it"- Mariusz Long Term EVS Volunteer From Poland
