De ce voluntar european?

Imagine
Numele meu este Corina aș vrea să îți spun că dacă încă te mai gândești să devii voluntar, ar trebui să îți iei inima în dinți și să mergi acolo unde te gândești că poți fi util. Eu am început experiența mea de voluntar în octombrie, în Salonic, Grecia. De ce? Bună întrebare, asta au întrebat toți cei dragi mie care au aflat că voi face asta. Surpriza lor era mare și le dau dreptate, în iulie 2019 absolvisem o facultate foarte bună, licențiat în studii administrative suna bine, aveam și un loc de muncă care îmi plăcea și unde creșteam alături de o echipă absolut minunată. Atunci de ce? Chiar de ce? Aveam toate aceste lucruri, dar voiam să ajut, să fiu mai utilă societății. Voiam să experimentez lucruri noi și să îmi dau seama dacă există și alte oportunități pentru viitorul meu care m-ar face mai fericită cu ceea ce fac. Din aceste lucruri s-a născut dorința de fi voluntar și am aplicat pentru un proiect în Grecia la un moment dat.   A trecut ceva timp, uitasem de aplicație când am afl

It was exciting to see new passionate people participate in the organization who were willing to help us out in many different task but mainly in translating.
