| Ahoj! Volam sa Signe. Som 25 rokov. I come from nice and beautiful country called Latvia. I will stay in KERIC for 1 year. Why I choose to be a volunteer in Slovakia, because of the 3 reasons: 1. I love skiing, 2. In Latvia I heard a lot of good things about Keric and people here 3. I wanted to change my life and gain other life experience. 2 days per week I am in Keric where I am teaching english for children (age 4-6). 3 days per week I am in Skalite (small village, approx.17 km from Cadca) at school, where I am helping children in Math and English. First weeks are full of many impressions, but I have to say that they are only good impressions and I already love Slovakia!!!!

My name is Regina and I am 23 years old. I live with my family in Upper Austria in a small town. In my spare time I love to travel, meet friends, read books and spend time with my pets. I decided to go to Slovakia because I want to learn more about other cultures, gain experience and try new things. Here in Cadca I will help children to learn German. I am also in an other school near by Cadca. The village is called Skalite. There I will help the teachers in German and English classes. I am really curios about my time here in Slovakia. For sure this is going to be one of the best decisions I have ever made ... |

During the seminar we will discuss within the topic European voluntary service about how to get higher quality of voluntary projects and expand them to new countries of the world and so we could provide this opportunity of personal development as much as possible to the young people in Slovakia.

They came to educate in English, in computers and everything about European voluntary service.
