It has been an amazing stay in this project. Since the first day, I have really felt at home. The local team was friendly and extremely helpful. I was nervous at first but when I met the kids, my nervousness disappeared. We went over English vocabulary words, grammar and speaking. Â The kids are very nice and they behave politely. They were very grateful for our teaching because they knew that it was a great opportunity for them.
The local coordinator taught me a bit of Amharic, so that made easier for me to communicate with the locals. We also went to the city center to see the market, the church and the lake. I loved the market. In our free time, we hung out by the lake or in the city center. On weekends, I took a trip to the Bue Nile Waterfalls and to Lalibela, both of which were amazing.
This volunteer project is relatively new, but I think it will grow to be better and help a lot of schoolchildren. I really enjoyed my time with the coordinators and the other participant, Ilie. I have learnt a lot from this experience and I will never forget it.
