Dzień dobry!!!

Greetings again from Poland.

Here, unfortunately, we didn't have much summer, the weather was strange - even for the Poles.

The summer passed very quickly without my realizing it, but pleasantly.

I participated in various activities while I was working at the Gdańsk Volunteer Centre (Regionalne Centrum Wolontariatu W Gdańsku). I went to several schools and presented my country and my language and talked to Polish students and students from other countries about my project and about the "European Solidarity Corps". I also participated and helped to organize some meetings of the centre with the "elderly associations" of the city. And finally, I organized an international dinner in order to get to know the international students involved in different projects, both with each other and with the Polish volunteers.

The school year has started since the first of September so I have returned to my routine as usual. This year I am in the "teddy bears", the smallest class of the kindergarten with three year olds. Adjusting the children is a little difficult now at first but every day we are doing better and better.

I find it hard to believe that it's already been six months since I came to Poland, but I extended the program so I'll be staying three months longer.

Enjoy the sun and the heat for those of you who can.

See you soon,

Marina ?
