\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Following is a testimonial about long-term volunteer (LTV)<\/strong> Nadine from Germany, who has been volunteering at Gnanodaya High School<\/strong> in Chennai. Rubini, her coordinator, writes to us about Nadine’s experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “I don\u2019t know how to start the article because I have lot to say about this volunteer Nadine. She is the most amazing volunteer that I have met in my career. Nadine did lot of good work in the project. She was working with orphan children in Chennai; she came to India for 4 month from January to April 2014. When I had spoke to her at end of her volunteering service, I really impressed by our conversation.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The first thing she said that when volunteers got the chance to go abroad, she decided to come to India after seeing very beautiful pictures on the Internet. Then she applied to come to India for 4 months. Nadine was very happy to travel to country where there were lots of tourist places. The first day she joined the project, Nadine felt that she had to start her traveling from the coming weekend\u00a0onward.\u00a0 Then second day, Nadine planned her journey for 4 months to where\u00a0and all she can go. After working with orphan children for the first three days, Nadine decided not to go traveling. She decided instead to work with orphan children for the rest of her time in India.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Nadine<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Nadine had complications with the children because she\u00a0didn’t\u00a0know the local language and the children\u00a0couldn’t\u00a0speak\u00a0English. Then Nadine took the initiative to learn the local language. After learning basic Tamil, Nadine started\u00a0to teach English to the children. There are around 126 children in Gnanodaya, but she focused on 6<\/span>th<\/sup>, 7<\/span>th<\/sup> & 8<\/span>th<\/sup> grade children and taught them English, Maths and Environmental Education. She not only focused on Education, but also made all the children to have fun in the evening once they all returned from classes. She had a really nice time with the children in the project.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 After three months, Nadine was so happy to see the result of her work in the project. Almost 50 children were able to communicate in English with her, and not only that\u2026 Around 80 children broke out of their shyness and took steps to speak with international people. Along with Nadine, there was another volunteer who helped Nadine to achieve her goals. Nadine is now feeling that without any help, the children can form sentences in English and speak with people. Nadine felt that she attained her objectives in the project.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
