Hyvaa paiva !
Hello everyone!
I´ve been here in Anjala for four months. So now it’s time to present
myself.
My name is Eléa, I’m from France. I’m doing a European Solidarity Corps
from August 2019 to June 2020. So as a volunteer I’m working in the youth
center of Anjala.
My main mission is to help the instructors. For that I can set up the
program, instruct or do whatever the instructor needs. I spend very nice time
here. Every week I can discover a lot of energetic and positive youngsters.
There are so much programs that every week is a different one!
For me the highlight of this season is to plan and organize this
“Christmas Event”. With other volunteers from Kouvola we met twice in the Youth
Center. During these two days we invented and planned some activities. We also
cleaned, created and decorated. We can´t wait to be Thursday, it´s always very
nice and exciting to see how will happen the event we made and thought
together.
In this period of the year – winter time – I´m going with one instructor
in schools. We instruct the program “Nature school day”. We talk about water
and its different forms. The main goal is to sensibilize the children about the
water´s issues. 
Few weeks ago, we moved in a new building. All the staff was super
exciting about this, and of course me too. They were waiting this for a long
time and finally the day came. Now we have more space, modern and safe
building.
You are welcome to come to see it by our own. Don’t hesitate and come to
eat in the delicious restaurant.
Hope to see you !
