EVS

RŪTA (Lithuania)

I am falling in love with Caucasus and I am very sure that it was a good decision to come here as a volunteer. Why did I choose vlunteering? I always wanted to explore new places, meet new people and to help them. So, I am trying to do my best in here. Work with IDPs and migrants is quite challenging, because you see their poor life and you want to change it, but for that you have to find a way. I have my small kids here, who is attending my english classes, willing to learn as much as possible and to have fun at the same time. I am trying to raise their awereness about environmental problems and to teach them how to use recycled materials in a creative way. I am working on different projects related to women rights, migrants, human rights. I organized the football match against rasism and fascism („Make your stand“), also I implemented movie screenings for the 16 days campaign against violence against gender („Voice and visibility“). I am sure that in the future I will do even more.
I can say that I am fully satissfied with my work here. I really enjoy having meetings with different people from different organizations, it can broaden my mind and I can establish good contacts that will help in a future. I enjoy my work, people who surrounds me and definitely Georgia – full of unexplainable situations, craziness, beauty in the nature and even much more. My home and my life.
