 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 ...

My name is Nilmar. I’m from Brazil. Since I arrived here I have enjoyed the new people and places. I will give to support in a school in English classes, in Keric I will teach english for children and teenagers of English. Also I’m preparing a workshop about  aviation, drums and percussion. I think I will learn much more things and I wish the people who is participate learn much too. For me, living, sharing, getting to know about Slovakia and people from here and different part of the world is a unique and amazing experience
I'm  so happy to be here and I’m sure this "EVS experience" will be a new step in my life!

From 25th to 27th of March KERIC organized a training for two new volunteers after their arrival. We chose non-traditional form for this activity. We had more trainers than participants. Entire KERIC team with the leader Maia Pophusen participated on the organization of the training. Each member of KERIC team was responsible for one activity.

From 12th to 16th of November, we will greet people from Germany, Denmark, Latvia, Italy, Great Britain, Czech Republic and Slovakia in KERIC. 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.

From 20th to 24th October 2009 we greeted 10 representatives of youngster´s organizations from the entire world in KERIC. They came to educate in English, in computers and everything about European voluntary service. The participants trained conversation and gained real EVS experience from volunteers during evening activities.
