This EVS is my first one. Everything started so fast for me. I’ve previously participated in domestic volunteer projects but never international ones. As a volunteer abroad, I am happy to be a part of SFERA International on this project. When I was accepted for the project, I did some research on the city and discovered that I would be spending three months in the city where Atatürk studied. I work with very good people. I met new people at every activity and became friends with many of them. I began to accumulate memories with local people, other foreigners, and people from all over the world. I started taking Macedonian lessons so I could continue my life here more easily. We started with the alphabet, and I learned new information every week. I spend two days a week teaching with an English teacher at a primary school.

I work in the office on other days of the week. We do beautiful activities with children at school. The kids want to hug me at the end of the class. We prepared cultural dinner days and cultural nights. I cooked dishes to promote my country. People tasted them and loved them. We did cleaning actions in nature. It is great to be part of a project that I feel is useful to the world. I share homes with people from other parts of the world and try to get to know their culture.

I’d like to talk about what I do outside of work. I feel good in Bitola. I like cities that are not crowded. The first week I came to Bitola, there was an international classical music festival. I enjoyed this activity. There is a park that I like very much; I love to walk there and do sports there. I spent a couple of weeks traveling out of town. I had a celebration away from my family on my birthday. People here celebrated my birthday like my family. I hope to continue to have nice days like these.
