Nino Karanashvili ESC story from Poland

It has already been five months of my voluntary project coordinated by AKWEDUKT in Kwidizyn, Poland. I work in the integrated kindergarten, where children different diagnosis and healthy children go together. I am absolutely in love with my job. I like to help the kindergarten staff in daily life. Most of all I like to help the children to achieve a small daily success. We do handcrafts, we sing or play.  Now, wonderful spring weather gives us opportunity for walking and outdoor activities. Working in the kindergarten is the job where I find myself the most comfortable.

Together with AKWEDUKT organization, we made Culture Days for children in Kwidzyn. During two weeks, volunteers from different countries have organized particular days to introduce their culture with the children. We created very happy, interesting and memorable days for the children and ourselves.

Besides the job, I traveled in Malbork and Gdansk - wonderful Polish cities. Together with volunteers we celebrate birthdays and make parties when we share our cultures and emotions. Our coordinator organization AKWEDUKT has accepted many volunteers from Ukraine. We support each other as much as we can.

In future, I plan to organize Georgian and English workshops for teachers in the kindergarten. I also plan to travel in different European countries and finish my Master’s studies that I do online. Some of my co-volunteers plan to visit Georgia in the summer.
