I am Ajith Kumar, working as a Weltw\u00e4rts\nvolunteer in Germany. Right now, I am working in a small city called Meschede,\nin an old age home as a house technician. My working hours are from 8:30 am to\n4:30 pm. I work together with 4 other people and their names are Martin, Uli,\nKamphone and Thorsten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also travelled a lot and made\nnew friends. In February, I visited M\u00fcnchen and Ochtrup and also went to\nHolland. I stayed at M\u00fcnchen for about 8 days at a friend\u2019s house, where we\ncelebrated the carnival and then we went to visit another friend at Ochtrup.\nFrom there, we started our journey to Holland and stayed about 6 days. The\nwhole of March I was working, and I learned how to use a lawn mower and a\nchainsaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of April, on the 22nd<\/sup>, I attended a seminar at Greven, a small city next to M\u00fcnster. There, I learned about German history and we all talked about racism in Germany and the situations there. The entire May I was working, and in the middle of June, I went to Paris and met and stayed with friends there for 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July on the 1st<\/sup> -5th<\/sup>, I attended a seminar in Kalsruhe, a big city next to K\u00f6ln. It was a political seminar, where we talked about German politics and the difference between other countries like India, South America and Africa and after the seminar, we went to a castle and a zoo. We had a lot of fun. On the 9th of July, I attended a seminar in M\u00fcnster for the North- South volunteers. I talked to them about India, as there were 4 volunteers who were preparing to go to India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At my work place, we received 5\nsheep for the old people, as it is a kind of therapy for them. In this therapy,\nthe sheep\u2019s gentle nature and quiet strength are utilised to assist people who\nare struggling with life\u2019s emotional or spiritual challenges or struggling with\naddictions and disorders. People\nare encouraged to put their heads literally to the sheep\u2019s forehead and feel\ntheir love and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also celebrated a summer festival\nwhere all the old people come out and dance and drink and talk. Thank you,\nFSL-India for giving me this wonderful opportunity to experience life in a\ndifferent country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
