Melisa, Uruguayan EVS volunteer in Slovakia with Keric

“My name is Melisa, and I am from Uruguay. I am pleased with the projects in which I will be working. I will be teaching Spanish language in Keric, working in public school developing art classes and working and living three days a week in a village near Cadca called Klokochov. In this place I will be working with children at school and spare centre also, at school helping in the English classes and cultural exchange, playing with them and part of the experience is always having the possibility of developing new projects. Some of them are: English classes for children, sports such as: horse riding, swimming, jockey and skiing. I am 100 per cent sure that this experience is one of those that change your life completely in a very positive way! Since I am here I have known people from all over and everyone tried to help you and make you feel at home” Melisa Marrero

Volunteer Service in Uruguay

Mid term Evaluation Dionysia, Greek EVS volunteer

“Being on EVS volunteers is a unique experience, as I expected! The fact that I live in a country so far from my homeland, make my EVS more interesting and gives me the opportunity to get to know pretty well a culture with a different mentality. Different, but so close at the same time!
Teaching Greek to motivated Uruguayans, drinking mate at the Rambla with local friends that I made, learning and practicing dancing tango in the Uruguayan Milongas until the dawn and speaking Spanish (of Uruguay) that I started to learn here.

I fulfill many more expectations that the ones I had when my plane landed in Montevideo 5 month ago!” Dionysia Kyriakopoulou.
High School and Spanish Student in Uruguay Lisa Birkhold
“This trip was amazing for me, I want to come back, and maybe it is possible in two years. My family was so nice to me, Guillermo was beautiful and the classmates in the school were nice. I found a second family and new friends. I hope really that I will have in the future contact with a lot of people I met. And maybe it is possible that Piki, Guillermo can come to Germany!” Lisa.
“The experience with Lisa here was really good, and almost always receiving people from other country in our house is a good experience. Why is good to receive people from other country? Because I think that is one of the best ways to learn about other cultures and make friends from the other part of the world. In particular the time that Lisa staid in our house was really nice and now she is like other member of the family. I think that everybody learns about the others and in this time we learn a lot, and enjoy a lot. This was a nice experience, and now the entire family have nice remembers of this time.” Piki, host brother.
