Volunteer’s Experience- World in the Classroom- It’s wonderfull !!

 

Hi ! I am Pooja from Delhi. Bored with monotonous working life, I was looking for doing something meaningful and just by chance got through the website of FSL India. Being a cultural lover, the outbound volunteering concept highly fascinated me, and I contacted them and had a luck to have words with Julien Soyer, Directer of Outbound Department there. I was well guided through all the way until I got  finally to the destination. And i moved on with all positives and negatives possibilities and really it proved to be one of best decision of my life. I had wonderful experience that i can never forget in my life. I regretted later why i didn’t do earlier.

 

Among a variety of projects i went for working with kids and its called “World in the Classroom” in a small townof Italy close to Napoli, in Campania region.

I learned Italian, wonderful culture, friendly people. I was hosted by the family of the head of the NGO there who invites international volunteers every year to represent the culture of respective country to Italian kids so that they get motivation to see out of the Italy where rest of the world exist. At the same time being in a group of international volunteers

I learned a lot and felt a great change in me as a person. It opens up your mind and it’s a window to see an actual new world. You can’t compare it to any routine trip just visit click photos of famous places, even it gives you a chance to experience a life of others and get a opportunity to know different people and different culture and you exchange yours too and at the end you comes to conclusion that you can only feel and really makes you better person that

help you throughout your life in some ways. As you do some hobby courses like swimming, music, dance or personality grooming, just to improve yourself, make you more skillful, to have fun you go for travelling, to get change or escape from routine life, culture exchange is also one of best thing to gives you more satisfaction than all above mention. This short time experience fills you with confidence, tells you where you stand, and where you can go, help you to be a good team player and above all you have a lots of fun too.  group of volunteers from different countries, you feel like to be in T20 team or team of world. 😉 You feel like to be above all the nationalities or frontiers created by men, and feel yourself a human of the world.  Working in team, doing all task together, exchange your cultures all among them, use all your creativity for one motive to entertain kids and teach all best from your countries and answer to all their eagerness to know. I travelled in real places not only Touristic ones.

If you really want to give you a better treatment to your life, it’s a best one. I would suggest every person should experience this and just go and experience and then judge yourself and feel this loving difference as I did. 🙂
