Miriam, an EVS volunteer in EDRA explains to us "Why you should be an EVS volunteer?"



Why you should be an EVS volunteer? 



ΓΕΙΑ!



I would like to share some feelings with you about why you should live this experience. To be an EVS volunteer is to have an opportunity to improve yourself. You can live your own life, to be really you and if you don´t know how you are…you will know in the end of your project!

It´s true that is not everything easy, some moments you miss your “real life” because you know how is your life in your country and that it is easier to communicate in your mother language when you are speaking about feelings or important things. However, it´s true that in one point you forget all these things and your EVS life became your “real life” and I think that in the end of my project I will miss this. I´ll miss my flat mates, I´ll miss our users, the staffs, our GREAT mentor, our sweet Greek teacher, the others volunteers, in general the life in Athens…

The most common things that you can live if you´ll be a new volunteer can be…

…To smile a lot, to know new people that in a short time they become your small family, to improve your English, to learn Greek, to improve your skills and aptitudes, to travel, to reject stereotypes of a culture, sometimes give the lie to, to value all the things that you have…

If you want to live a new experience like this…you are welcome to EDRA!
