From 21 till 24 of February we had mid-term training
in Naples and we all liked it very much! The station was our place of a
meeting. Most of us arrived before the time, so we had a walk round the city,
met a lot of other volunteers. As I understood it is easy to see other
volunteers if you are volunteer yourself, there is something common between all
of us. At least we all were very glad to
warm days in Naples after snowing and cold weather. So at 2 p. m. organizers
arrive, gave us badges with our names and we went to our hotel. And I never
felt myself so strange, because all 50 volunteers when they saw my surname were
coming up to me and trying to read it, I think they were shocked! Ok, try
yourself to read this DROGOMOSHCHENKO!
Beautiful weather and the sea made all of us happy.
And I understood how much do I miss our Ukrainian Black Sea, because it is
difficult to live far from the sea if you were shores girl for all your life
before! And it was so great to receive this opportunity to stay for 4 days near
the sea.
It was very
cool to meet our friends from on-arrival training in Rimini and also new
volunteers. But this time the meeting was organized in a different way. We had
more free time to get to know each other better, to talk about our work on the
projects, about our own countries. During the training we were talking about
our projects, about the problems and the ways to solve them, we were working in
groups doing different tasks. And this time organizers were ready to translate
everything in English if we did not understand well. Also the organizer prepared surprise for us
and we had masquerade party! It was not very convenient to eat in masks, but
the atmosphere was magic! And in 2 days we had a party. We were dancing Turkish
dances, chatting, trying to learn new for us Spanish dances and it was cool!
We decided to work hard to have one free day. So, on
the last day we went to Pompei all together. I was in Naples before, but did
not have time to see Pompei and it was a great surprise to all of us!
I returned home to Lucera tired and with great
memories!
Thank you for this time!
