KERIC volunteers
Ich habe als Deutsch- und Englischlehrerin in KERIC sowie in einer Schule gearbeitet, habe mit den anderen Freiwilligen internationale Workshops vorbereitet und durchgeführt, habe Kinder am Nachmittag betreut, Tischfußballturniere veranstaltet und in den Ferien Camps für Kinder gemacht.
Soy Ana Tejedor, soy de Palencia, España. En el 2004 me embarqué en esta aventura del SVE. Había terminado de estudiar Comunicación Audiovisual y no sabía qué quería hacer con mi vida, así que buscando opciones para viajar y conocer mundo vi un anuncio en el periódico. Eché solicitudes para proyectos que me atraían, el país era casi lo de menos, ......
"Fazer EVS é uma experiência única, na qual é impossível não haver nenhuma transformação pessoal.
A oportunidade de morar na Europa, especialmente na Eslováquia, possibilita uma vivência com outras culturas, com novas pessoas construindo amizades, com viagens no continente Europeu, com o aperfeiçoamento dos dotes pessoais, com aprendizagem de novas línguas e enriquecimento do inglês, enfim, de fato amplia os horizontes. Os eslovacos são extremamentes reservados no começo, hospitaleiros e tratam muito bem os estrangeiros, independemente de onde sejam; .......
"Van april 2004 tot april 2005 heb ik als EVS'er gewerkt in Keric. Mijn keuze viel op dit project omdat de invulling ervan heel breed was en ik het idee had dat je er voor een groot deel zelf invulling aan kon geven, afhankelijk van wat je kunt.
Ahoj, Meu nome é Rodolfo, moro em Lavras, MG, fui voluntário no Keric, na cidade de Cadca, SK, durante o período de 1 ano, fui intimado a fazer uma espécie de avaliação, sobre o meu período de voluntariado na Eslováquia.Então comecemos. A principio temos medo por não conhecermos muito bem o país, pra muitos de nós é a primeira experiência fora de casa, fora do país, longe da família, mas já aqui no Brasil nos preparamos junto a organização que nos envia. Para mim foi um ano cheio ......

Ahoj ! Ja se volam Joffrey, som z Francuzka a mam 20 rokov. Yes, I did it: a sentence in Slovak!!! I am really sorry but it will be the only one! So, I am in KERIC for 10 months to accomplish my European Voluntary Service. In France, I studied at the university during 3 years and I wanted to change my life, to discover a new country with a new culture and to meet new people: EVS is the perfect mean and Slovaquia the perfect place for that! And KERIC gives me the possibility to teach English and French to children, so I think it will be a rewarding experience! Cau! |

Ahoj! Dovol’te, aby som sa predstavil. Ja som Lucille a mám dvadsat’dva rokov. Som z Británia. Študovala som na univerzite za Edinburgh. I’m originally from Darlington in North-East England. I graduated this summer from Edinburgh University with a degree in German and Philosophy. Four years at university sounds like a long time but time has a habit of flying by without you really noticing and so this summer I found myself at the end of my studies without being sure what to do next. When I heard of EVS I really felt that was something that would suit me. EVS gives you a wonderful chance to live abroad, gain work experience and meet new people – I just wasn’t sure which project to go on. Then I heard of KERIC and the work they were doing. The mixture of close contact with the local community through teaching, participating in various workshops, and working with a thoroughly mixed group of international volunteers really appealed to me. Previously I hadn’t considered moving to Slovakia but the more I found out about the country the more it intrigued me. The opportunity to learn a completely different language was something else that tempted me to this project. So here I am at the beginning of my time at KERIC leading my first English lessons and speaking my first words of Slovak and most importantly looking forward to the adventures this year has in store for me. |

Ahojte!! Ja sa volam Eva a som z Rakuska. Som dobrovolnička v Kericu. I decided to do EVS because it is a great opportunity to discover a lot about yourself. You find yourself living and working with other volunteers, who have the same motivation to gain new experiences, but at the same time are totally different characters and come from completely different backgrounds. This makes EVS so special to me. Why I chose to come to Slovakia, is an easy question for me, because I was really interested in the project Keric offers. Trying to teach kids, teenagers and adults for the first time is a really exciting challenge. Furthermore I wanted to discover a country I had never been to before. And although Slovakia is a neighbouring country of Austria hardly anyone knows anything about it – so close and similar, and at the same time so different and a totally new world! And so far, I can honestly say, that coming here was a great decision!! Thanks in advance to everyone, who I am sure, is going to make this a wonderful year! |

| Hellooooooo! My name’s Angela, I am 20 and I’m from Italy. What do I like? Eeeeh a lot of things: music, overall. Music everywhere, always, no matter what. And pasta. And pizza. But those have a special place in my heart (obviously). Here, I’m teaching English and Italian in Keric, and during Wednesdays I am in the Korňa’ school, to help out with English lessons. I am here because I didn’t know which university to attend after my high school and because I needed a break from my studies: my sending organization showed me this project and I was like “oh well, why not!”. I’m sure I’ll have a great time here in Čadca (as soon as I manage to pronounce it, that’s it). |  |
