For me ESC is an opportunity to live a fulfilling experience in another country, do some good around you, meet new people from various horizons and discover new cultures and ways of thinking.
I was tired of my routine, wake up, work, eat, sleep, and I’ve always wanted to live in another country so I decided to quit my job and gather my courage to finally leave France and now I’m really glad I did that.
I’ve been here for three weeks and I already have this feeling of accomplishment because we did so much with the previous and new volunteers ! We went to school several times to share time and activities with the kids on several subjects such as poetry or discrimination. We did a lot of outside activities, planting trees, games to learn with the kids, spread happiness for the International happiness day.
Also I’m very interested in the radio broadcast and the freedom we have to choose topics that we care about.
I think this ESC program will leave me with a lot of new skills : communication, social media presence, video editing, recording. All these skills are not related at all to what I studied in university so it’s a big plus for me ! I am also gonna improve my english for sure !
And for now, all the people I met here are really interesting and they bring some things to think about or new points of view and I love sharing experiences with them.
I’m looking forward to the next few months to continue in this beautiful and human adventure that the ESC program is.
