Iuliana about
volunteering
Our
volunteering activity started in October 2013, after an introductory lesson
over this subject was offered to us all (I mean, all the students who expressed
their wish to take this up) by one of the teachers from the Comenius group. We
were given a sort of definition of volunteering, we were told what it involves
and the fields in which it is practised. Then we found out that we were about
to take part in such activities in a day centre for seniors and in a nursing home.
I was eager to start because these were opportunities to do something different
from our school classes, but the first
encounter was nothing much. When we
arrived there we only visited the place, we met some elderly we were about to
collaborate with and we were told we would work together on different topics.
I put myself
again on the list of volunteers for November and then, yes, it was nice, I had
quite an experience. The students and the seniors – we all discussed about our
town – what we like and dislike about it and especially what it used to be like
in the past, when they were young or even small children. I loved this chat
because I found out a lot of things about
Baia Mare I hadn’t known before and also, because I was impressed with those people’s patience and desire to
help us learn and understand things we hadn’t thought about up to that moment.
