Already one month !

Bunà Zuia everybody !

As you can see I start the romanian lessons ! It's really intrusting to learn a new languages in english because in reallity I learn the both in the same time. Now it's more easy to go in shops in Romania I can ask what I want (a little) and understand what I buy.  We have a very good teacher Mircea he is really patient and listenning.
Last thursay (20 november) with all the YMCA EVS volonteers we organise with students league a multicultural-party "ZIT" in Mystique a night club very close to our flat so it's perfect to come back home after.
The next day we go again in copalnic for a first meeting about photovoice project. Childrens should to think about society's topics. After that they will take pictures about that and finally they make an exhibition where they can explain why they want to represent that. After we come back in Baia Mare with the help of a really kind women. This same day it was Aysel birthday and we make surprise in the office.

In the morning with my team we are going in the romani-center alone without help, first day of independant for the activities. In the evening with YMCA we organised an event against domestic violences in the old center. On wednesday we are going in kindergarten for make activities with really litlles guys they are 4 years old. It was really funny to try to communicate with them.
Thurday was really sportive day because we was walking in the city all day long for a city hunt. And after we was going with Sopo in gym. So after all of that I'm going home and relaxing in my bed.

Firsts moments in Romania


     Hello everybody I'm Judith from France and I start an European Volontary Service in YMCA Baia Mare Romania. I was arrived the 2nd Novenber in Cluj-Napoca airport and I took the bus direction → Baia Mare ! I'm here for a project « 4 Youth Performers » during 10 months with 3 others girls ; Orla fron Irlande, Sopo from Georgia and Sarah from germany. (If you want you can follow their life in Romania on their blogs).
When I arrived in Baia Mare the others volonteers are really wellcoming. It's really nice because at the beginning I'm a little lost after the travel.
The first week was really intrusting, we make a lot of trainings with all the YMCA volonteers. It's nice we learn some tools for after and especially for meet everybody. We are 9 volonteers in the organisation ! We make 2 interventions about tolerance in 2 schools. We are in team of 4 peoples, I enjoy this first experience and with my partners we make a really good team.
The last week all the others volonteers have their normal schedules, for us the new volonteers it's the beginning so we go with Salomé and Tazo (from france and Georgia) in their class for see what they do with childrens. It was intrusting. We go in Baia Mare schools but also in the Roma Center where they are childrens from 6 to 16 years. And in Copalnic a small village at 30 minutes to Baia Mare by bus. We hitchhike for come back to Baia Mare we found a beautiful red truck it was nice.
I'm really happy to meet all these new peoples ! It's intrusting they come fro everywhere.
And I meet an other french girl in the organisation. It's nice because we have a lot of common point and we can share about our experiences in french it's more easy... I don't speak very well english so for the moment I'm little bitte frustrated to not being able to communicate what I feel and what I think. But it's getting better day by day !
So from now we can follow week after week my EVS in Romania !

Nice to meet you and see you next week !;)
