Carnival party !

-
The 4th March it was Santiago’s carnival, we were inside the parade dressed like the people in the movie Charlie and the chocolate factory. We had children from the sport team, the toy library and the scouts, we were together to celebrate this moment and represent the Don Bosco’s center. We had lots of different character from the movie: Charlie and his father, Willy Wonka, lumpa lumpa, the child who eats chocolate and his mother, the girl with the chewing gum and her mother, … . To represent the chocolate factory we had a float made by Tony and helped by the children from the toy library. Also to animate the parade we had different dance and songs with the lumpas lumpasand we throw out sweets for the spectators.
The parade began in the train station finishing in Alameda’s park. We have seen lots of people along the parade whereas it was raining y it was cold. People liked the costumes, they were enjoyed and some people were well costumed, for example, policeman super heroe or vampires, … .

Well, to begin with I would like to say thank you to Don Bosco for organizing so amazing events! However, it was awesome also because of the creativity of the volunteers.  So, we had 5 countries: Austria, Denmark, Germany, Spain and Ukraine.  And we started in this alphabetic order J Josipa organized an interesting game for the memory, where we also learnt some things about her country – Austria.   The second country was Denmark – and there we had a quiz. Amanda prepared exciting questions, and we all competed to know who knows about Denmark more. It was interesting, funny and creative at the same time. I even took the notes about the program she used to do it, because its really cool.   Then, we want to see the presentation of Germany! It was hilarious! We had an amazing dance! Chelly told us the translation of this German cool song and we enjoyed dancing! It was easy to understand from everyone’s face that they really did like it!

On sunday I was running a marathon! Well, it's not exactly a marathon, it more like a quarter-marathon.... The name of the event is Carreira Pedestre. It is a 12km race trough the city of Santiago de Compostela. It's open for everybody to compete, profesionals and amateurs (such as me). This was a 35th time this race has been held, and the record was broken with 6.388 competitors.

In the morning of the 10th of December we took a train to Coruña where we should meet at the bus station with other volunteers. It would be the first time for us to get in contact with volunteers living in other cities of Spain, so everybody was quite curious to find out where they were from, what they would be like, if there'd be perhaps somebody from ones own home country etc.. When we finally arrived there it was crowded, 30 - 40 people waiting for us, all stranger to each other, but united in the decision to take part on an Evs project. After we took the bus to Bergondo, we got our rooms. Everybody got a room with people from other cities, so that we would be forced to socialize a little. We had few minutes to put down our stuff, greet each other and exchange a few words b
