Bora Sensoy

Hello,I am Bora Şensoy and 24 years old,coming from Turkey,I graduated from Uludag University at international relations department. 
I decided to participate in this project cause during my first volunteering experience I realised that I really like to know about new people from all around the world ,work with them and discover their cultures.Above all these things I am going to help people with disabilities and at risk ,I want to touch their life ,I want to leave a good mark on their life as much as I can.This project will give me the chance to achieve my goals.
First of all, I am going to learn how should we approach to people with disabilities how can we support them and on the other hand, I am going to learn being a team, to act as a group,to succeed tasks together as members of a team.
To be a volunteer means for me,helping people act charitably with no thought of personal gain.

I don’t have straight plans on “what I am going to do when come back to my country?” this topic for now but I think I am going to know more myself during the project and after that I can decide what I want really to do in this regard, which rota matchs with my expectations and my talents.

Prescillia Veerasamy

HELLO, my name is Prescillia Veerasamy, I’m 21 years, I’m French and I’m live in Paris.
I already worked with children’s and teenagers in animation. I have experience in relational, I had tested a lot of work about that, for example: work in the hotel,in the associations, make promotions for some events, work in the cinema, in the restaurant and bar, in the shop etc. …

I decided to participate in this project because I already did one EVS in Bulgaria and I had really loved this country. I choose this project too because I want to have more experience with children’s and teenagers and I want help peoples who need it.

With this experience I want to improve my English, I want to learn Bulgaria language and culture and I want learn more about myself.

For me to be volunteer it’s a very wonderful experience because we help peoples, we travel, we learn another culture and language and its one unique experience than not so much people will know in her life.

My first impression about Bulgaria it was, what do i do here!? The builds in flats its very old the peoples look at me like a extra terreste , I don’t understand nothing blablabla, but it was just a one impression. After 2 weeks I changed my opinions and I had really like this country.

I don’t know again what I will do when I will come back in my country. I just know than I want to have one work where I can help peoples and feel useful to others.

Marta Romera Castillo

My name is Marta Romera Castillo and I'm from Barcelona, Spain. I am 29 years old and I finished my studies of infant education and pedagogy 4 years ago. I worked for 9 years in a transportation company in the administration, and also participated in some solidarity events to raise funds for a foundation for sick children.
I worked as a counselor for work and training with youth and adults.
Deciding on this project because the Methodology is very much in line with my professional profile and also because all my professional experiences have been developed in my country and I believe that a culture different from mine can contribute positively to my life in a personal and professional way .
From this experience I hope to learn other ways of living, to know cultures different from mine and of course to improve English and learn a new language.
Being a volunteer through Erasmus + for me is a great opportunity to get to know the world and learn from each and every one of the people you meet along the way of the project. Being a volunteer means constantly learning, giving to others and receiving a lot from others.
Before arriving in Bulgaria, I did not know how I would feel, I imagined a country and a culture very different from mine and although this is true, from the first moment I had the feeling of feeling at home, that is, in the two weeks that I've been in Sofia, I've seen that people on the street and in shops are nice and that although you do not speak Bulgarian, it's easy to communicate with people. I think that in Bulgaria there is an open mind about tourists and this is very good.
When I return to my country, I want to continue working in relation to educational projects and work orientation and above all, I would like to promote the European volunteer service so that other young people can live this experience.

Manuel Cortés Rodríguez

Hey!! My name is Manuel, I'm 21 years old, I am from Spain and I'm studying economics.

I have been studying in Ireland one year and I like knowing new people and new cultures that can enrich me from a personal and professional point of view.

I had clear since a few years ago, that I wanted to do some voluntary service abroad, aimed to have new experiences and grow personally, and at the same time, make some benefit to the community, and I think that now is the perfect moment to do so!. With this in mind, I became a member of the European Voluntary Service.
I chose to work with NART because I liked the idea of working with young people at risk, and at the same time, I wanted to know the people and culture of Bulgaria a country very different from Spain or Ireland.
