Carnival Camp 27th-28th February to the 1st March

-


    For three days we organised Carnival Camp in Don Bosco
 
We divided the children into three groups: the youngest (from 4 – 8 years old) the older kids (from 8 – 12 years old) and the oldest (12 years +). We organised different activities, games, handcraft activities and tales.

    On the first day we painted up the children to look like princesses, superheroes, butterflies, and cats and played some games: el pañuelito …


    On the second day the kids learned how to prepare crêpes/filloas and of course we then ate them.






    At the end of the camp we brought all the children together and played more games. Afterwards, as an evaluation, we asked them about what they thought of this camp and whether or not they liked the activities.

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 arrival-training in Bergondo

Two months after our arrival in Santiago, the last 7 of us, who arrived the latest on their project, had our On-arrival training. It took place in a small village called Bergondo, situated close to A Coruña. 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...

Fontiñas The socio-cultural centre, where our German volunteer Annika works, is located next to the shopping centre Area Central in the district Fontiñas. (According to Annika, the location is quite useful if you realize during work that the fridge is, once again, empty.) The centre Fontiñas covers in total an area of 2,7000 square meters and consists of various different institutions.
